Notes Just finished making up my first pattern from Lekala. I wasn't sure how it would turn out as I am both fairly large (UK size 20-ish) and busty, with a short torso and swayback (usually have to shorten bodices by an inch in front and 2 or more in the back)

Generally very pleased with the fit, but next time I would narrow the shoulders and shorten the back. I can't get the collar to lie right either.

The fabric is a quilting cotton. I had 2m in my stash and I'd estimate I have a generous half metre or so left, albeit in an odd shape.

I love the style, and think I'm going to make another with a sleeve and no collar.
