This pattern comes out of Tomoko Nakamichi’s Pattern Magic book. As the book didn’t exist yet in English when I purchased it, it was a little tricky to figure some things out. I choose a thick linen with some weight and it turned out perfect for this particular bow dress. With some minor changes to the drafted pattern I would like try the dress again.

I have the book in English, and it doesn’t seem to help me much. It still seems difficult. Bravo on your work.
