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.

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.
