I have bought it as well, only issue is that they assume because your bust chest measures 40in you are a C/D cup when in reality i am an A.
Looks easy enough to lengthen and i already have some fabric i can use.
Perhaps we need a Sandy Comp?

And I STILL have to do a FBA even with that.  Rather have  your problem  :)

Think I have it - that the one with the hood/cowl and handkerchief flared hem?

Yes that's it.

I suspect I'm the only one who will be attempting this without an overlocker. It only has 1/4 inch seam allowances so I will increase those

Well I`m made it - and I don`t like it!  The handkerchief hemline is very wide and creates big folds on either side of the hips which, on me, were deeply unflattering.  I have chopped some fabric off to get rid of the folds and now have something I will wear - but which is very ordinary.

I`ll be interested to hear what everyone else thinks

(I don`t know why I don`t stick with existing patterns that I know have suited me!)
