The pattern has just arrived. Thank you.
It's a long time since I've sewed with one of those patterns with no printed marks, just punched holes and notches. I do like the idea of small holes for the darts though - I always tailor-tack dart markings and it's often a pig to get the tissue off without tearing it so looking forward to using this one.
I found a length of charcoal grey "mixed fibres"
with a fine white check running through it. It has been in the stash for so long that I can't remember buying it and I have absolutely no idea what it's made from, but it's been in the washing machine this morning and is now pegged out to dry and is earmarked for use with this pattern.
