My gauge was a smidge tight and it worked great to knit the 2nd size to get about a 36” finished bust. I followed the pattern as written except for making the body a smidge longer (mine is 11”) and the sleeves shorter (mine are 12”)

ALSO:
on Row 4 of the Yoke (neck increase row), I did M1Lpw at the beginning and M1Rpw at the end - not sure if this was my error or the pattern, but this worked for me to get all the increases facing the correct way.

The yarn is a perfect match for the pattern and I really do love the way this fits. Also, the neckline was very fun to knit - that centered double decrease is “chef’s kiss”!
