This is my entry. The pattern is BD6320. I have made it full length and put the split in the back. The bust shaping on this pattern is quite clever. I couldn't see how it would work but it does. The darts are in the centre, not the sides. I am a D cup and it fits really well. I bought the fabric on Ebay a bargain I think at just over £30.
All the darts and seams are lined up exactly - except one! I unpicked it and redid it 4 times but it is still about 2mm out and I can't understand why - I pinned through the stitching on both pieces as usual. I didn't think the fabric would stand being unpicked again so I have left it. For this reason, I have made a belt just in case someone stands behind me and notices! It doesn't yet have belt carriers so I haven't pictured it on the dress. The buckle is a vintage one - from Ebay again!
Because we are going on a cruise and the air conditioning can be chilly, I made a waist length jacket from the leftovers. It is V8963 modified.
Sorry about the sideways pictures, I couldn't get it all in otherwise.
