Notes A bit snugger than I expected. This is a very figure hugging shirt. I had to fiddle wth the collar, I took in the width and sewed it about 3/4 inch closer to the front to get the notch in the collar I was after. I didn't have enough fabric to do the sleeves hence the shortened version.

29 October 2017: I have decided that I need to do a few things to make this shirt wearable. So I have shortened it. Made a slit in the side seams and I will be experimenting with putting what it essentially a godet for the sleeve to increase my ability to raise my arms a bit and not have to pull my shirt back down when I have lowered them again.
I did some research and found this invaluable video.

Failing that, it will just have to be a sleeveless top!

I finally took photos of the alterations I made. I could not save the sleeves but at least I got rid of the wrinkles on the front and the back and I will wear this.

    Thank you Naomi, that sounds like a good idea. I haven't had this problem in Lekala patterns before.

    Looks great! I've been wanting to try this pattern. For the fit, try shortening the bodice 1/2 inch below the bust on all peices. For me, this resolved the tightness around the back
