Notes	Slightly modified version as the overall shape doesn't really suit my body shape... but I wanted to try. I chose a thick knit with little stretch but still maybe too must, the pattern was too big. I think it's really meant for scuba so there is more ease built into it than usual. The pattern is well designed and goes together easily but I did take a lot in at the back center seam and at the sides, to shape it a little bit more... the straight shape looks way too blocky on me. I made it a lot more fitted by reshaping the seams around the underbust. I also modified the collar by not adding the facing and just folding it in half as I felt it was too high for me. The sleeves could be a few cm longer so I just serged them.
