This is hands down the best dress I've ever sewn, and my favourite pattern for my corporate work wardrobe. It's very flattering on my curvier, busty figure and in fact people stop me all the time to complement me on these dresses. My one tip is to use non directional fabric. The front top pattern piece doesn't indicate which side is up, and despite sewing this several times I can never remember so have cut these pieces with the print upside down.
