Using the same pattern as I did on this post
I didn’t cut the bodice on the fold, I cut 2 seperate pieces, elongating an inch on both in the center seam for the button panel
I did cut the back on the fold instead, button closure meant no need for a back zip, (she found it hard to do up anyway)
I cut the front skirt panel on the fold for a nice clean piece - I also chose a bright patterned fabric!
