I've been working on so many things lately that I never had time to finish this shirt and blog about it. I had seen a ton of good reviews online about it and it looked easy enough so I thought I'd give it a go.
I made it in a size medium with XL adjustment at the hip to accommodate the pear shape. It sewed up easy but the fit was not great. The top was just to big, and was showing my bra strap. (hate that...) I cut 3 inches off the neckband and reapplied and that helped. It's still a bit big so next time I will ignore the sizing chart and just cut a size small. The hips were also to big and I ended up adjusting 1 1/2 inches on both sides to make it smaller. Definitely need to go down a size there too.
I love the look of it on the dress form but not sure how much I'll wear it because of the neckline issue. I also wonder if the stretch of the body might have a lot to do with size. The next fabric I bought to go with it is has a lot less stretch....Hmm...might cut larger and size down just in case.
Here's the final garment....
