I issued this pattern in anticipation of my 'It's the 20's Again' EvaDress Pattern Challenge. I recently received the first completed submission for that challenge which is the Robe de Style by a customer in Florida:
Known for its full, dropped waist skirt at a time of popular straight-cut dresses, this Robe de Style pattern comes with pieces and instructions to make the paniers (to go under the dress), the bows and fabric flowers and leaves for embellishment.
