I bought this pattern because I wanted to do a Steampunk Queen Victoria for a convention. I am an intermediate to advanced sewer and I make a lot of historical costumes. The pattern went together beautifully. It was much easier than I thought it would be. There are very thourough instructions on fitting the bodice which will give a very personalized fit. I would hightly recommend this to anyone wanting to make a polonaise.

The front buttons to the waist and then falls open into two points, with pleats at the sides. As an option, the buttons can be extended down the front to give a round apron effect.
