Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes.

Yes.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the lined bodice, the twirl skirt option, the range of sizes and the directions that were easy to follow.

Cotton/lycra knit.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I add 1/2” to 1” in length to the bodice. I add 3 to 4” to the knee length skirt.
