Some easy decreasing and increasing is included at each side of the lower panels to give gentle shaping which enhances the vintage appeal.

For a truly sumptuous look and feel, make this separate fur effect collar, worked in 2 pieces with a centre back seam, and ties at the front. Full written instructions given.
