Anyone made this?

I found it with some others in the charity shop, and wondered if the dress would be a quick make for my hols?

I won't have much time to make it, we go away on the 22nd, but it looks straightforward - there's a nice top on there too....

Looking for any pitfalls or fitting issues, and whether the overall dress looks as good as the cover picture.

Morgan thank you!  I only managed to get a couple of reviews - no idea why, and only one dress (not the one you've linked to!).

I think I will either pass on this, or make the top pattern to check the fit.

The waistline issue is one which I'm sure would affect me, and I hate a high waist...

I will maybe have another think.....
