Most dress patterns can be used as long as there is a seam across the waist.  Before stitching the dress together, the mock button band must be done and the lace must be stitched on the front pieces.

The sleeve vents have facings with lace stitched between the layers.  The mandarin collar also has lace.  Mock ties [ribbon] are stitched into the sides of the dress with a zip up the back.

A circular skirt has been attached to the waist.  Three lines of lace have been stitched along the hem and pearl-like buttons stitched down the front band with two buttons on the sleeve.
