Notes

Great fit! See pics for mods.

Accidentally added 8sts to underarms of sleeves so they are a little baggier than I wanted, but they will hold up better this way, probably.

The back neck hem rolled out weirdly so I kitchenered a few stitches from the back of each side to one stitch on the top of each shoulder.

On sleeves and torso, added a 4row + 1BO seed stitch hem using 6.5mm needles.

I undid the torso as the back was baggy. I think because the bust increases were distributed across the back and front. Next time I’ll take front and back bust measurements separately and assign the increases accordingly.

Not sure what to do about the bottom hem. I’d like a vent since my butt sticks out, but it’s not right yet.
