Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
If not, why? -
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Ability to modify pieces into dresses rather than top and skirt.
Fabric used Heavy weight woven, muslin.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend Had to add three inch panels to each side of vest piece to adjust for G cup size. Sewed vest to skirt and made front open. Turned the blouse into an under dress by adding length.
Would you sew this pattern again? Yes
Would you recommend this pattern to others? Yes
Any additional comments I've always wanted a costume dress and this pattern was nearly perfect. I had a blast sewing it and when I put it on I feel like a queen.
