Making this up for the first time, and not doing a mock up, I have truly learned my lesson. Altho the fit is fine, personally there are some things I would have changed.

I did lengthen the bodice, but its still much shorter than I like.

I would add an inch to the front, at least.

I would also extend the shoulders a bit so I could stuff in shoulder pads. They hug close to my shoulder (which I like) but I would have like a bit more room to decide on specific fitting concerns.
