Just my 2 cents worth, but when I looked at the pic on the front of the pattern, the armseye seems too large. If you look at the pics of Helen Mirren in these gowns, the sleeves fit tightly up under the arm. Gives a more period look, but maybe is not so comfortable or easy to fit for today's folks.

It looks to me as though it is too shaped. In Jean Hunnisett the sleeves do not have as much shaping. I've brought the pattern to work with me today to trace off at lunch time.
