Pattern finished, time to cut

I've been looking at Pinterest posts of extant garb for days.  This one has the lines I like best.

I won't be able to match that hourglass shape because I'm very short waisted. I made up the bodice from a cotton tablecloth & the first fit certainly has an issue-about a 2" gap at the center front waist.  That's why we mockup.  Shoulders look good.  The sides need to have the grain shifted.
