NOTES
1. The sleeves and bodice are worked together. Two front pieces are worked first, from the front empire waist up to the shoulders. These pieces are then joined, forming the back neck, and worked from the shoulders down to the back empire waist.

2. Embroidery is applied to the bodice before the skirt is worked. The skirt is worked in one piece from the empire waist down to the lower edge.
