I've finally got around to cutting out this pattern. My main complaint is that the paper pattern doesn't have markings to indicate waistline nor does it mention ' back neck to waist' measurements anywhere that I can find
It does have several places marked to add or remove length)
Due to my height, I usually have to add length to the pattern, but with careful measuring and a bit of 'keeping my fingers crossed'
it seems likely that this pattern will fit straight out of the packet. View B is long enough too! 50" so I would suggest that anyone of average height may need to shorten things.
I also decided against using my Liberty cord for the first attempt, instead choosing a fine wale embroidered stretch cord from oakmount mill at £6.99/m .I do remember making a similar style in the 70's, can't recall the brand, but in a slightly heavier cord.
