I got this pattern because it is so flattering on everyone who has blogged about it. I did have a few problems (of my own making). Don't stabilize your knit fabrics on every edge, they need to stretch, duh. I did try on the bodice and with the Design Plus stabilizer I could barley get my arms in. I ended up cutting off about an inch on each sleeve opening and luckily it still fit.

My only other caveat is to finish the edges with the method that works good for you. For me that means using bias tape with thinner stretch fabrics. Just turning and using a double needle did not work on this fabric.

All in all I like this pattern.
