Notes	I ordered this pattern with a 1 inch increase in my actual bust/waist/hip measurements, because I am aware that knit patterns here are often more fitted than I want. Other than that, I made no adjustments to the bodice. I'm really pleased to find that the empire line does go under my bust rather than cutting across it - not something I would find in other commercial patterns! I found it quite tight around my hips, but a deeper hem than instructed solved that problem. There is plenty of length in the lower half to play around with. This little top is flattering to a large bust and tummy, and was very quick to put together. I'll definitely make it again.
