10/4/10 - finished and it fits very well… just in time for the cooler Fall weather. The XS neckline is just about as deep as I ever like to wear a neckline; I wouldn’t want it cut any lower. It was a little trickier to figure out the increases, but I managed. Math was involved. I did just enough increases toward the bottom hem to get a multiple of 18. I always crave the color orange around this time of year. Especially red-orange.

9/10 Getting close. I’m not doing any of the A-line increases.

Swatch checks out, love the color. Will do the XS neckline and increase to M for bust.
