Notes

size 1 (32.75)- I have a full bust of 30” so this should fit with approximately 2.75” of positive ease.

Finished the body and my gauge seems to have really changed from my swatch. It is much tighter now.

I went up to a US 5 for the sleeves since I knit tighter with small circumference needles.

I only knit the neck ribbing for 1”.

Blocking helped a bit, but it fits with about zero ease instead of the 2.75” of ease it should have. Honestly, I love the look of the tighter fit. So pretty and soft and will be beautiful to wear to work with flowy trousers or a pencil skirt.
