See below for a review of this pattern:

'I ended up making the 2nd view in as a light cotton frock, but changed it quite a bit - made it sleeveless and added a neck tie instead of the decorative shoulder bow. Overall, I am happy with the result, although I did have some trouble attaching and draping the sash - ended up lacing it through a decorative buckle and tacking randomly.'
