Instructions?
I gave this 3 stars, because they're really more of an order of operations than instructions. You're going to have to use prior experience to make some "educated" guesses. For example, it doesn't mention to stabilize any of the seams--you will want to stabilize the shoulders (like you should do in every knit shirt pattern) and you'll also want to stabilize those little pieces that form the shoulder in the front (the ones that are the top half of the front armscye). Another thing of note is that the collar is kind of confusing. I recommend figuring out some way to pin part of it together before you stitch the center back of the collar, just to make sure you have the twist properly oriented. I used my dressform for this, but if you don't have one, you should probably be able to use a hanger to help get you started.
Does it look like the photo?
Well, yes and no. I was under the impression that the sleeves would be elbow length. I don't think I have long arms, but these were just slightly over cap sleeve length, which is OK, if that's what you are going for. I wanted elbow length, so I was a little disappointed that I had to add extra, not hard to do, but I mistakenly thought I wouldn't have to. Also, the twist isn't quite as dramatic in my lightweight rayon jersey as the example, but it's still cute, and I don't mind.
How does it fit?
After I added about 3" to the length of the bodice and roughly 10" to the sleeve, it fit quite nicely. I'm short (5'2" tall), so this might be worth noting. I'll be the first to admit that the fabric I used wasn't the most forgiving for any figure flaws, but I just can't help myself. I love me some rayon jersey--it's just so comfy and soft!
Overall, I like it so much that I made it twice. :-) And I'm not gonna lie, that crazy collar worked better the first time than the second, because I got a little bit cocky. So just remember to stabilize those seams I mentioned earlier, don't get cocky on the collar, and double check the length, and you should be good to go!
