Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

I added 2" to the hem line. I wanted the finished length to be right at knee length. I also added 1 3/4" to the bottom of the scoopneck bodice. I am long in the body and the empire waist was hitting me right along the bustline. So with the scoopneck I made it so the empire waist would hit below my bust.

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes

Any additional comments

Fast and easy pattern to sew up. It looks and feels wonderful. I did find the crossover too low for my taste though. The dress is definitely fitted, but it is very figure flattering.
