The pattern is very easy. I added about 9cm to the overall hem - and I added a little width to the sleeve - where it tapered to fit snugly to forearm.I shamelessly did not bother match the pattern at the side seam. I was concerned that the boat neck edge might be too wide or too deep at the back - but it wasn't! It drapes beautifully from a nicely fitting neck area.
This is a great pattern for the right fabric - something soft and drapey ... a great mid season staple!

I've been thinking about making one of these too with some stripes I bought in Korea or a very light knit remnant also from Tessutis.

What lovely fabric! The top looks very stylish. I haven't made clothes for many years - seeing all your lovely creations makes me inspired to get back into some dress making.
