Great color and belt looks good. Thanks for tip on shortening between shoulder and bust and on length. Who would guess?

Sewiing Sue, I just edited the review to add that I usually need to shorten the bodice between bust and shoulders, but hadn't. So you may not need this alteration.

Thank you for this review, its very helpful! I keep looking at this pattern too as its very popular but had similar concerns about the lack of definition in general and my similarly petite stature. The belt looks great!

Thanks for the great review and all the lovely pics! I am a petite pear too and thought this pattern would only work for tall willowy types. Yours looks great and the belt really works!

It looks like a great pattern and you got great results even though you had to talk the fabric around to your point of view.
