Sizing: I decided to go with a size down, as opposed to one size up. My actual bust size was falling somewhere in between a medium and a large, and at the advice of the pattern’s author i chose to go with the medium (35.5”).

This patterns runs short in length. I added an inch of length at the bottom and I still feel like it could be longer.

CO 102 stitches for 35.5” size, using a “stretchy slipknot cast-on”

Finishing: used reccomended Kitchner Stitch to seam the sleeves, but having a difficult time finding a technique that works for the side-seams. I’d like to hide the rough edge, so was hoping a simple Edge-To-Edge seam would work, but i think the slipped stitches are working against me for this. My next best option is probably a Mattress Stitch (Invisible vertical seaming on garter stitch edge)
