This vintage style dress circa 1956 is taken from Simplicity pattern number 9840. The construction works up great, the fit is good, but to get the perfect fit on silkstone I copied this pattern, then cut off the seam allowances, then recut my own onto the fabric. The result is I end up with a bit smaller seam allowance as I tend to use my machine sewing foot`s edge as the guide and so don`t alway sew along the seam allowance of the original pattern. I find this makes it a better fit for the smaller proportioned Silkstone body. No other adjustments were need, and this bodice could also be used for a sheath dress, leave off or split the collar for a back closure.
