Agree with all your points, especially about lack pattern markings, bust point etc. I've just ordered the paper pattern but I'm only 5' tall and I already know I'm going to have to do a narrow shoulder adjustment etc. I think the waist might be ok if the Appleton is anything to go by LOL.The Literate Stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196183469662634192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-87925170910232634322017-04-27T19:23:25.506-04:002017-04-27T19:23:25.506-04:00Agree!Agree!AlaskaBerninaGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785858643579439463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-88079405525624049652017-04-22T01:04:16.173-04:002017-04-22T01:04:16.173-04:00You are missed!

I think I...Wow, great comprehensive review, thanks! I think I'm going to go ahead and order it. I'll try to remember to check back here for your tips before I sew. I have a narrow back & shoulders, too...maybe it would be an idea to cut the smaller size for the back bodice? I've made the Colette dress that's similar, but the neck is way too wide and the gathered skirt is not very flattering on my apple belly. I hate to pay for a similar pattern with the exchange rate, but I think Jenny's dress will suit my figure better.

I'm 5'8"! I never knew! Learning to sew has been a revelation) - this review is going to help me immensely. I know from the Concord that I'll have to narrow the shoulders, narrow the back, and remove some length from the part between the shoulder and the bust apex, but I have to do that for almost every bodice pattern, and it's nice knowing I won't have to do a FBA or grade up for my stomach fat. I have some merino jersey I've been saving and I think if I muslin this right I can have some really nice winter dresses. Thank you! <br />Thank you!

I think it's more of a problem on the Appleton because of the amount of negative ease (for lack of a better term) built into the no gape neckline.
