I found this pattern very straightforward and easy to follow. I was careful with my pattern placement because I did not want any awkwardly placed flowers, so I only has enough fabric for 1 pocket. My only mod was to place the zip slightly lower at the back, and adding a hook and eye
My pleats aren't perfect, but that's my fault for relying on pinning and not stay stitching them as the patten suggested.

the finished dress fits nicely, especially over my massive bump. The dress has a good amount of ease which allowed me to skip the invisible zip at the back and slip in and out of it easily. The pleat detail is a lovely touch, eliminating the need for bust darts. However, I did face a minor issue with the boat collar not sitting perfectly flat. I assume that this could be due to my own mistakes while adjusting the fitting.
