What we're trying to accomplish...

Just so you know, this is the dress style we're attempting to copy. We did find commercial patterns that were "close enough" (i.e., that Mom liked better that would work, more or less).


The only part I'd have trouble with are the buttonholes, since I've never tried to make one (and have no real desire to do so). So much easier to make them when knitting or crocheting, really...!
