THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, Pat

Measure at two different points of the grainline to ensure that the grainline runs parallel to your selvage

A bra definitely works here too, although there is a small keyhole gap below the bow on this dress so you may still want to opt for a nude or plunge style

You need: 2 front outer bodice pieces (make sure extend the inside edges long enough so they can overlap and accommodate seam allowance) 2 front liner bodice pieces 1 outer bodice piece 1 liner bodice piece 2 collar pieces* 2 sleeve pieces *To draft a coat collar, I took my peter pan collar pattern and cut it on the fold while straightening one end into a line
