Notes

2 strands cotton + 1 strand silk
Got gauge with 3.25 mm needle
With my yarn, this gave me a a light airy fabric, with nice drape.
Total weight: 113 g
(yardage of my cotton yarn is a bit of a mystery, but as I held it together with the silk, then the resulting yardage of the 3 strands together will the same as the silk yardage - 750m)

To get a slightly deeper V neck, I added a dec before the inner eyelet on R3 of the first 4 eyelets (thus inc 1 st instead of 2 in those repeats). This way I knitted 4 extra eyelet repeats on the fronts before joining them, and adjusted accordingly when joining back and front.

I have a short trunk, so I reduced length by 1 inch Armhole to end of rib hem: 14 inch
The other measurements are very close to pattern schematics.
