Eventually finished this over the weekend, but I don't think DD will like it. I think it's a bit 'mumsy', but maybe it's a gardening dress....
Issues with this pattern: it needed more ease, although I liked that it was darted at the back; the front V is awful!
Regarding the V. The neck edge should have Vilene stabiliser ironed on, and the tiny facing sewn at the V. The facing is then trimmed down, and the rest of the 5/8" turned to finish the V. Well it looks awful. I re-did it once, and it looks just a tad better, but I think it would have been 100% improved with a facing.
I've attached a picture.
