Notes	There were so many problems with this pattern, I don't know where to begin. The pattern clearly needs a placket in the front skirt piece, but the placket is not among the pattern pieces, and the instructions don't mention it until it is time to attach the bodice to the skirt and then assumes that there is a placket attached although the instructions never mentioned putting one there. The back skirt panels are COMPLETELY different heights and widths from the front ones. You can't make the dress that way. The dress has a middle back seam going all the way from top to bottom that is completely unnecessary. The middle skirt layer isn't long enough. It hardly had any gathers and I had to recut it. The peter pan collar didn't print correctly. It was only one centimeter wide! I had to create my own collar. The seam allowances were all different widths ranging from 3/4 centimeters to 2 centimeters! I wonder if a real person designed this pattern or if it was AI generated. Very disappointed, and I wasted material fixing the pattern.
