I made this toile up in a nice poly-cotton lawn which I've had hanging around for years - in size 20W which I thought would be ok.
The fit around the hips is SNUG, to say the least. I've made the seams really narrow but its still too tight.
But the fit around the bust / neck /shoulders is pretty good.
I'm wonder if I added to the sides with some contrasting fabric (not sure what) would it be worth it or shall I just write it off?...
I had in mind some kind of godet insert starting from the underarm and increasing to the hem (it needs about 4" around the hip area.
