I'm strongly beginning to think I'll just wear modern clothes to the dance instead of a costume. I have only two weeks left to get this done (and that includes a fitting mock-up).
Both views list fabric and lining. HOWEVER, and this took me quite some time to figure out, they're not the same layers between the views. For View B the fabric is the pink and it's lined (makes sense), but for View A the "fabric" is the net/mesh layer and the "lining" is the visible white layer. To my brain View A should be a white fabric layer with a net/mesh overlay. Bah! I chose this pattern because it was the only one I saw that had a neckline that would hide modern bra straps; for a once-a-year, does't-need-to-be-accurate thing I didn't want to mess with a corset.
