Great pattern
Such a goodie this one. Perfect A-line shape, really lets your fabric shine!
Some notes:
I found the pattern quite high up on the neck so I might lower the neckline a tad next time.
Also I used the narrow shoulder, but that shows my bra straps, so will opt for the wider shoulder next time (although I do have narrow shoulders and need to adjust most patterns for this).
I fully lined mine so didn’t use the facings.

Excellent fit.
5 stars for an excellent overall fit (the length, bust darts, and armscye fit me well). An easy and fairly quick sew, too. I'm starting my second Shift dress, but this time I am going to bias the arms instead of the facing. I think I'd like that better. Looking forward to trying your other patterns!
