I didn’t get the guage called for in the pattern but just cast on for the next size up to account for that. I ended up with about a 42” finished bust for this garment. I added 3 inches of length to the body and didn’t do bust darts. Love the fit of this and will wear it all the time although the process of knitting it wasn’t my favorite. I just don’t love the feel of knitting with cotton and hemp. That being said I’ll probably use this yarn again because the end result is so fabulous!
