A Piece of the Past

When my Mom was going through some of my grandparent's things she found some patterns from when my grandma was a little girl. One of them was in Amelia's size, so we thought it would be fun to try it out.

Here's the dress created with the original pattern. The only change I did was to lengthen it about 2".

Slightly sack like? I guess that was the style back then. Not a good look for Amelia.
Here's my attempts at making it fit a little better.

It's a little better. Definitely wearable, but I don't think I'll be using this pattern again. It was still a fun little exercise.
