Gauge: I achieved 14 stitches in 4” on a 6.5mm needle
And 16 stitches on a 6.00mm. Unblocked.

I’m purposely making an extra small size so that I don’t get the oversized look in the pattern pictures. So far it’s working out well.
I’m adding another 12cm in the body for extra length.

Side note: this would look great as a dress.

I knit the extra small, as I didn’t like the oversized look. I’m usually a medium and it has worked out to be a good fit.
I had to make some alterations to the sleeves, which worked up very small because I’d chosen the smallest size. As I’m a Houstonian, I settled on elbow length. I reduced the amount of decreasing before the icord edging on the sleeve as this needed to fit my elbow, not my wrist.
