Pretty front, very small, some issues with pattern

Sorry, struggling to upload a photo. First the positives. Yes easy, straightforward and makes a lovely garment as everything is enclosed, no overlocking or edge finishing needed. There are a few translation issues as topstitch is used where I would use understitch and baste and stitch in the ditch. Fabric wise, it took ages chalking out the 160x90cm grid, but actually needed about 2/3 of it. I checked my pdf download size, and measured my neice, and followed correct size for her, but it has come up tiny. Really a child size. Yet to see her to try it on, but likely be a bra-top very cropped. So anyone with a bust or larger back size, make a toile of just the lining to see size. I think it could do with some extra length. Also some pattern pieces said cut one, and needed 2 (ribbons). In fact I think ribbons could do with being longer. So glad I did it, good learning, but I don’t think my 19 yr old niece will fit it, may need to find a 12 yr old.
