Anza Jumpsuit and Dress PDF review

I made the dress version of this pattern, in straight size 8 for B cup - I am 37-31-39. I love the fact that the pattern offers different cup sizes - eliminating the additional SBA/FBA alteration. I shortened my skirt by 2.5" and I omitted the breast pockets and drawstring/waist tie. My fabric is viscose-line blend, and I think is perfect for this pattern, it's got plenty of drape but is not too slippy to sew. This project was very enjoyable and relatively easy, the only tricky bits are when attaching the cuffs to the bodice, and sewing the elastic casing.
All in all, I think this is an amazing pattern, I am looking forward to finishing my jumpsuit version.
I have a more detailed review on my blog should you wish to read more about this make https://thefairstitch.com/2019/04/06/anza-dress-itch-to-stitch-pattern-review/

Update:
So I've now made both versions (the dress and jumpsuit) and I love them both. For the jumpsuit, I didn't change anything in the bodice as the fit was already good, but I did add the breast pockets (handy for stashing train tickets!). I decided to go with wider elastic for the waist as the 6mm one on the dress was way too fiddly, for the jumpsuit I used 20mm elastic, so yeah I did widen the casing pattern piece a bit. I also omitted the elasticized hems and waist tie, and I love it. More details can be found here: https://thefairstitch.com/2019/04/29/anza-jumpsuit-itch-to-stitch-pattern-review-part-2/

Anza Jumpsuit & Dress

Fabric used: Viscose voile.
Instructions: Very clear, good diagrams, well laid out.
Pattern: I used the PDF. It's layered, print only sizes you want, and has cup sizes, A-D, which is very helpful. I printed the copyshop version.
Fitting Alterations: I made none. I cut the size 2D across the bust, graded out to the 4 at the waist and over the hip. I would normally have shortened the dress as this time it was made for someone who's petite, but she liked the length, so it was left as is.
