I have made this pattern up twice. It is a one piece dress. Was very pleased with it. Did fully line the bodice on both. The front opening goes down into the skirt about 8"' or so so you step into the dress. I think it has pockets which I moved closer to the front of the skirt. Seems the pocket was in a back section of the skirt which I thought would be very inconvenient. Instead of button holes, I did button loops and ball buttons down the front of each dress. Cactus
