I'll have a look at my other patterns tonight and sort out the sleeve later.
I've traced it all out, and added the side back bodice to the front pieces, so I can lace up the side back/back seam to allow for growth fluctuations. I will use the front opening for putting on though. I'm being inspired by some of the gorgeous gowns on Festive Attyre. I'm planning to wear a high necked smock underneath - do you think I can do this and wear a ruff? I'd love to find an example of this showing some blackwork on the collar and cuffs.
