Sewing a 1940s Dress, but Plus Size || 1940s Friendsgiving!

Happy November! Today I'm sharing a 1940s plus size dress and a lovely Friendsgiving recipe to participate in the group Friendsgiving started by Drew Hayden Keelin and Sewrina! I chose to make the 1940s Advance 4585 pattern, which has a 40 bust. I didn't upsize the bodice, but I did end up adding in extra panels because my bottom half is firmly plus size and the skirt did not work normally!

For anyone who needs them: my measurements are 43-35-52.
