See below for a review of this pattern:
'The pattern is beautifully presented, printed on quality paper which makes it durable for multiple use, and is very easy to adapt. The pattern gave a smooth, flattering fit with very little adjustment. It works with a wide range of fabrics - I've made up a wool tweed with long sleeves, a short puffed sleeve version in light silk crepe and a 3/4 sleeve version in printed rayon. The pattern was wonderful to work with and gave a wearable, elegant result.'
