Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

I wanted this to fit like a dress rather then a top, so I added an inch in length and also added a 2 inch ruffle.

I also combined views a bit. I did a sleeveless version (view 3) but did buttons rather then lace (View 2). Very easy to mix and match with this pattern for lots of cute vintage combos!

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes
