Notes	This was a bit disappointing. The neckline is a bit funny - it's really high on the back and sides and it looks like it's supposed to gather and drape but it feels a bit fiddly. The sleeves were too short, as was the body of the top, so I added 10cm wide cuffs and a 10cm band at the bottom of the top to get the length right and add some weight to it. The top was also too tight through the body and sleeves. I really wish Lekala would say how much stretch knit tops need to have (or let you select that / select ease amount) like Bootstrap does! It's not perfect, but it's wearable. I'm glad I was able to resuscitate it because I love the colours of the fabric!!
