So I've made a start. I'm thinking I can't have been too far away from the original models size. As when I did paper pattern I added 2 inches...and once I made up the toile..silly me had forgot the paper pattern didn't include seam allowances which I *did* add to the fabric toile. I found I had to take about 1 1/2 inches off.
I wanted to try and avoid obvious darts. So I too in the 'curve' at the seams.

I wasn't sure if the 'lining' should just 'meet' or overlap. And by how much. At the moment it is overlapping quite a lot.
Ignore the darts I took them out once I added the darts at the seams. |
You can see the overlap if you look carefully at above picture.
I then started on the 'wrapover' part. That went quite smoothly once I figured out which side seam it should be in line with.
Back - found it looked better attached to that seam rather than the other one. |
Not the clearest picture. But shows front with wrapover over over lining. |
Next step getting my head round how to attach the wrap around skirt.

Makes a bit more sense now.
