Unusual summer dress

I liked the pictures of this low backed dress so gave it a go in a drapey linen. I am full busted so had a choice of a 22 for my bust or 18 for everywhere else. As I have very broad straight shoulders I went for the larger size, partly because I couldn’t get my head round an fba with the armhole dart.
The dress is lovely and the darts work really well but the shoulders for the larger size are way too big even for me. Because I made the sleeved version I had to remove a lot of shoulder. I really liked the effect of the bodice before the sleeve went on, so I might try making that version with just a hem.
I’ve cut out the sleeveless version in the same size to assess the different bodices.
I couldn’t get seam binding so used grosgrain ribbon, but it’s a bit too wide so my elastic keeps disappearing into the hem channel. I’m not too sure about how much to gather it, so I’ve been wearing it without. I really like the effect of this, but may raise the slit if I decide to give up on the elastic.
This is a very clever pattern which goes together beautifully. The skirt has a lovely drape. I’m giving my garment 4 stars but that is all me issues and not a fault in the pattern.
Once I’ve sorted things out, I can see this being a great summer staple.
