This pattern is a “mix and match to create” pattern. It offers two bodice styles (one that can be used with or without the shoulder straps), two styles of midriff, and three skirt options. The instructions are straight forward, and the pieces go together easily, and quickly. My only complaint is all the gathering, but that is a personal complaint, as I just hate to gather. lol. One note, the sizing runs just a tad large. I made a size 18, per the instructions on the envelope, and had to take it in a bit. A size 16 would have done nicely. For the dress I made, Katie picked the bodice with the shoulder straps, the shirred midriff, and the bubble skirt without hem band.
