New Look - Linen Set but Make it Separates?

Going to keep this one short and sweet.

Pattern Review - New Look 6461

Pattern Details	Rated Easy I agree with this rating Pattern comes with 8 pieces in total I needed 7 of the 8 pieces There are 3 top views and 1 pants view A dress, a tunic and a cropped top (not cropped about waist but about high hip) Wide leg trouser Pattern comes in printed version only Fabric Recommendations: lightweight/drapey wovens (charmeuse, cotton types, linens, silky types)  (ABC) lawns, voiles & gauzes Sturdy knits - ponte, double knit, french terry’s  Notions - 1 pkg of single fold bias tape (I made my own) & 1 yard of 1” wide elastic
Sizing	Size 6 -  18 B: 30.5 - 40 W: 23 - 32 H: 32.5 - 42 FGM (finished garment measurements) B: 36.5 - 46 (6 inches of wearing ease) H: 36.5 - 45.5 (5.5 inches of wearing ease) I chose a size 18 My measurements are 44,37,47
Modifications Made	I modified the size first by shrinking the SA all over to a ½” SA not ⅝” I added ½” to the CF and CB I created a cut line along the crotch for front and back and added 2”   This was too excessive, I should have just added 1” This growth would account for my full tummy and blessed buns I added 3” to the side seams Also too excessive, I should have gone for somewhere around 1.5” All adjustments were relatively easy and pretty intuitive.
Construction	I skimmed the instructions in the beginning, they were what you would expect of a big 4 pattern. I really didn’t follow them. I only referred to them for the construction and adding on of the ties for view C Per big 4 the pattern does not inform on how to finish seams, except the seams that are bound using bias tape.  There is nothing tricky about this pattern, it is EXTREMELY beginner friendly.  No new techniques were learned during the making of this pattern I probably won’t make this pattern again. I have other patterns with similar silhouettes that I enjoy more.
