I've had a day to myself, found a bit of stretchy fabric in the stash and made this!

It would of course look better with black or red trousers rather than the peachy coloured crops I happen to be wearing today.
It was easy to make with an overlocker; just a tee shirt with a fancy ruffle sewn to the back. There's not much shaping to it, no darts in the pattern, it relies on the stretch of the fabric to fit. However, once sewn I decided that a bit of shaping would improve it so I added a couple of vertical bust darts which end at waist level and make small pleats. That does improve the look at the front.
The pattern is multi-sized, 16 sizes from 28.5" - 55.5" bust. I made size 12, 36.5"-37" bust.
Pattern markings are minimal - just one notch at the top of the sleeve to mark where it joins the shoulder seam (the sleeves are same front and back, but I've come across that before in stretchy tee shirt patterns. Instructions are minimal - no mention of taping the shoulder seams or pressing.
As for the fabric requirements - it tells you separately for each main piece and gives the impression that about 3.5m of 60" wide is required, when actually 2m was more than enough. Just fold the fabric off centre so that it's wide enough for the semi-circle skirt ruffles and it leaves plenty of width for the other pieces. The fabric layout diagram is rather odd too - it looks as though you are supposed to cut one skirt ruffle out of the other one

The verdict - yes I quite like it
