This dress almost ended up in the bin as they say in England. I bought this pattern on Etsy, they do reproductions of vintage patterns. I think I just ordered a size that was too big.
When I tried this on the front of the bodice was hanging way low over the waistline. It looked like I had surgery to remove fat from my stomach and they left all the skin. Horrible!!!
I hacked off about three inches on the front and none on the back. I added darts to the back bodice and to the front, then sewed everything together and the result was a wearable dress!
