I suggest you add this eBay seller your favorites list, since … look at this scan! Perfect, high-res, fantastic detail — as well as she scans the backs of the patterns so you can see the pattern pieces as well as the material requirements! ::love::
I adore the bodice on this one. Those gathers aren’t as difficult to sew as you might think, since (next suggestion) you can brute-force the flat piece over the gathers with the topstitching.
I likewise (and does this even warrant mentioning?) love the pockets. I do not, however, love the skirt, which requires you (in the mode of the times) to have dispensed with such trivial things as hips. (If you are naturally tall as well as slender, though, instead of shortish as well as roundish as I am, this is the gown for you!)
If this weren’t B32 I would be strongly tempted to get it as well as (another suggestion) modification the skirt to a much more forgiving A-line. In fact, (last few ideas I promise) think of an A-line skirt with a center gore mirroring the triangle of the bodice … think of that bodice in handkerchief linen … (absolutely, positively last suggestion) click on the picture to see the eBay auction — it only has a day or two to run. as well as it’s a Canadian seller, so … cheap!
