Notes

Totally fell in love with WallyOne’s Sipila - Stained Glass. But having committed to using stashed for 2019 (we’ll see how long that lasts) found some Tonalita.
Upper bust 87 cm. Bust 91 cm. Measured ease off of upper bust with JMF organic sport weight which gave me a smaller mzrment than Dk.
Trying it on after blocking…….
