Nice job for your first dress! I love the fabric, it is so cute, and the model suits you well. But is it a little tigth in the top? I sometimes have the same problem when I use burdastyle patterns, because I have an hourglass figure, (broad sholders, big bobs and small waist) therefore I choose the size where the measure fits my boobs and then take in the pattern in the waist. I find it easier to choose the bigger size an make it smaler in the waist than choosing a smal size and make it bigger in the top because it is generally more stuff going on up there that takes more adjustments, (neclines, rounded panelseams, darts, armholes etc.)
