Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I found it very quick to construct.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
* Round shoulder - I added 5/8" to the back shoulder and took 5/8" off the front shoulder
* High round back - added 3/8" at the centre back reducing to zero at the side seam (FFRP page 124)
* Gaposison the front neck line - took out 3/8" tuck via slash and pivot method
* FBA - added 3/8" (FFRP)
* Sway back - 1/2" at centre back to zero at side seams
* Full Arms - I added 1" (FFRP page 169).
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes it is quick to make, and feels very comfortable to wear.
Conclusion: I will be making this up in other fabrics and will try some different necklines and finishes.

Great fit Sharon. The fabric is a great blue.
It is a lovely fit. I can see the alterations are worth doing.
