This cabled romantic sweater with 3/4 length sleeves,

GAUGE
23 sts/36 rows = 4” in stockinette stitch
Center Cable Band = 3.5” wide;
One pattern repeat (24 rows) = 2.6” long
ERRATA
After waist increases, you should have 174 (197, 220, 243, 266, 289, 312) sts on the needles.
Jaeger Roma is really soft and smooth, but it shows every little bump and join, so I might recommend finding a different soft DK wool/silk (like Zephyr Wool-Silk) or a nice soft DK wool blend like Rowan Felted Tweed to knit this up in.
