I bought this shirt (XL) on my birthday, thinking it needed to be a dress. It was surprisingly difficult to make this one. The skirt part took like five minutes or something, but wrangling the bodice (with shelf bra built in) was a real bitch. Despite it being an XL, I ended up using a lot of scraps that barely fit to make the back, and I had to put some triangles at the top so I didn't flash people, and I ended up using the hem to make the straps more sturdy. The sewing on the bodice isn't the best, but hell, I didn't think I'd finish it at all for awhile, so it's good.
It does look nice, though. I wish the weather was actually warm enough to wear it now...
