The Pattern

Turns out I had this in my collection!!! Only thing is, it only goes to 12-14...which may or may not fit. But I could make the bodice first out of muslin and see if the armholes are big enough and if it actually buttons across the bust. Pleats instead of gathers and perhaps divide the skirt into panels to insert pockets in the front seam lines. Close to the picture on Pinterest, eh? only with button front.
