Notes

The design is not as flattering as I had hoped- a little too boxy on me, as there is no shaping. I think the back needs to be longer and the front and back should match (as opposed to the front being longer) or the back should be he longer piece, as kind of a shirt tail hem. I skipped the pockets.

When finishing, the neckline was very wide in the back and caused the front to hang down even more than it already was, so I crocheted across the gap at the back of the neck and did a few rows of single crochet to try to pull it together a little. While I like the design of having the front panels travel over the shoulder and becoming the back after joining, I think mine came out a little too far off, especially with the dropped shoulders.
