Butterick 5053 Misses' Top was lengthened to dress length. The sleeves were widen about two inches to get the look. It took more time than I expected as I had to make adjustments to the tummy area. Polyester/Spandex $1 per yard fabric purchased about four years ago from Walmart was used. It has a satin finish.
