Notes As I work a lot from home now, I learned to love leggins and so I needed a nice longshirt to be able to also wear them in public and in style :)

So I lengthened this shirt with the help of another lekala pattern for a dress so that my buttom is covered nicely. However, as the shirt did not have any darts since it was not meant to be so long, I had a strange "bump" on my hollow back. As I do not know how to construct darts, I just fixed the situation with an elastic band that gathers the fabric there and covered it up with a bow.

Unfortunately, the front upper edge of the cleavage stuck away, too, I guess it was too wide for me somehow...but this was also easly fixed by gathering it a bit under the bolero-like front parts.

Overall, the pattern turned into a nice shirt and I am looking forward to wearing it!
