I made it exactly to the dimensions for size xs in the pattern. The fit is overall good, but I don’t love the way it bows out at the sides above the ribbing, and I wish I’d made it just a little longer.

That said, it’s really pretty! The pattern needs a few errors fixed and a little more detailed instructions. If I didn’t have as much experience as I do, I would have gotten confused at some points. But maybe that was a conscious decision because it’s a more advanced pattern?
