Unfortunately I bought it at the end of the season when there was only 1.5 yards left on the bolt - no chance of obtaining more for correcting "mistakes."
The back has too much space with a straight back but works well when bending over. There bodice armhole region needs work as it at once cuts into the arm and has too much fabric, especially with my small bust size.
Issues: The skirt front is faux princess lines with darts, no pattern. The midriff and bodice is made from slightly heavier, white cotton and altogether a bit too thick as dress and lining. The top of the midriff is a tiny bit too snug, whilst the bottom of the midriff is a bit too loose. ...The straps are also too thick and not positioned correctly but at least the hem is a nice length.

I also added some blue satin ribbon covering the seams between the skirt/midriff and bodice/midriff. The piece would look better with a black midriff or at least some colour other than white, as evinced by the black cotton sash added here.
