Copied from a documented extant garment. The fit of the bodice has intentional ease to enable free movement for dance, exercise or work.

There is a design guide to assist in choosing which elements you may want to combine in your dress. This pattern is a dress with separate bodice and skirt with the bodice ending at the natural waistline. The bodice front has horizontal bust darts (which can be repositioned as desired) and four pleats at the waist. The bodice back has a two piece back with a yoke and wider lower back gathered into it.
