Notes	Right. 8-7-18 First off this is my toile. What can I say?! The back fit is OK, but the front? Oh dear! I'm going to need to manipulate this a lot to get a decent fit. Other things to note; The seam allowance wasn't printed around the armholes so I added that in. Even with that I feel I could have done with an extra cm at the front. Also this top isn't very long (fine in this case as I'll add a skirt) but if you wanted to tuck this into jeans then you'd not really be able to. I know this could be a super cute top, but not like this, currently the pattern and the picture are two separate entities. 10-7-18 After removing a good couple of cm from the sides (shame as now my stripes don't match) I now have something that fits better. I know I'm going to need to cut a smaller waist band in the future as well as manipulating the excess from the arrmsyce to become fullness under the bust. I've left the collar off on this occasion but may well add one in the future. This pattern is a lemon for me, but I'm going to slice it up and add it to my gin and tonic.
