Notes	Fits beautifully without any real alterations. The instructions are pretty sparse and a little hard to follow (but I think that's pretty standard on Lekala patterns), so I just put it together how I'd put together any top, including flat-sewing the sleeves. I left off the zip because I found I could put it on without it! Yay for less work! I added a small hook and eye for the collar to attach together at the back, top, because I didn't like how the collar flattened down at the back. I also chopped about 5 cm from centre front hem to level and shorten the top, to suit my style - I won't tuck in this top. (excuse the chalk marks and the terribly pressing in the photo!)
