I wanted to post this link the other day as I thought the vintage pattern was similar to the skirt you were looking at.

I do have a much better link with more Lanvin and lots of interesting information too. But it says not secure at the top of the other link but not sure that is an issue from what I have been reading? The link I have posted above is ok.

Thanks for the link, that is lovely! It doesn't matter if it isn't secure if the site isn't transactional (e.g ecommerce).
I've come full-circle with my plans and think I am going to try the Lekala twist bodice I made again, so it would twist in the middle with a V. Slightly less fabric needed to do that and I think I have enough. I'm going to use my sloper as a guide to get the right height and width on the Lekala top, as last time I made it it was too long and low. I should be able to layer the two patterns on top of each other and trace off a mish-mash which is the right length but has the twist front portion.
Then, like I did on the last Lekala dress, I'll make a waistband to join the two together. Advantage here is that it will be easier to match the skirt top measurement to the bodice if I draft my own conjoining waistband. I may take the skirt in a little at the darts and sides if I need to. It's a bit big, but it works.
Afterall it's only a costume. I doubt I'll wear this dress again (maybe for another dress-up party!)
