This dress pattern is uncut, which indicates it seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out not to be one. My first reaction was “whoa! amazing sleeves!” but then came the question — how do they stay up in those best points? I don’t think that string in a couple of the views is a style variation — I think it’s an engineering concession.
I can’t think of that this dress would be anything other than a nightmare to wear. You’d be fiddling with it constantly, which violates my strict “if you can’t wear it and forget it, forget it” policy when it pertains to dresses.
The other thing that probably seemed like a good idea at the time was providing this pattern for $50. C’mon! I’ve seen wedding gown patterns by popular designers not provided for that much. $50 for this, which is pretty much unwearable? NOT as good of an idea as it seemed. Anyway, if you want it, click on the picture. maybe you can email and offer $20, which would still be outrageous, but within the bounds of possibility. It’s B39, by the way.
