Lessons Learned: I love this pattern! I can’t wait to get this top in my wardrobe! I’m so glad I toiled it though. I made some quick and dirty adjustments to make this fit, but I want to try to do it right before I cut into my gorgeous ochre textured viscose.

Next Steps: I need to play around a bit more with the fit. I want to see if the size 7 with a narrow shoulder and a shallow chest adjustment is best or if I should size down and do a broad back adjustment.
