It seems like it would be very simple to make, front bodice just attached to a gathered section with a rufflle on the bottom and wide straps at the top, easy. So I took measurements and traced each piece, then added a seam allowance. Here's where I'm not sure what to do. on the back bodice there are two buttons, would I just make it longer to accomodate where the fabric needs to fold over for the button holes? Or would it be two separate pieces for the back bodice?

Then cut your backbodice on the selvedge edge of your fabric and the front bodice on the fold. cut the skirt piece placed on the fold with the centre back seam on the selvedge side, the ruffle needs to be twice the width of the skirt. ------------------------- digimad Edited: 05/28/2012 at 08:48 AM by digimad
