Nice Sillhouette
Over all, I am very happy with the dress and made two. The instructions are very clear and for as long as I have been sewing, I have not come across clearer instructions for making kick pleat vents look this good.
I did have to do things that weren't listed in the instructions to get a better fit and functionality (adding extra zippers, adding pockets, understitching). I found that the one part which I did not alter was not to my liking: the hip contour. The sides stick out and look a little cartoonish on me although I followed the guide for finding the correct size. It looks this way both on the dress that I did make according to the regular instructions and on the variant where I made pockets.

This retro style can be dressed up or down depending on fabric choice which makes it very versatile! The instructions are straightforward and simple to follow. This was my first experience with a kick pleat, and the instructions guided me through the process with ease. I will be making many more of these in the future!
