I found this fabric to be eye-catchy and bought it immediately even if the print in quarters (roses framed by a brown and black strip) makes it harder to sew. I used two quarters for the skirt and cut the bodice from a third quarter.
I adjusted the MadisonAF23 bodice pattern: lost the cowl collar and replaced the little pleats under the collar with darts. As for the skirt I sewed a gathered skirt.
