finished bust measurements: 73 (78, 83, 88, 93, 102, 107, 112) cm 28.7 (30.7, 32.7, 34.6, 36.6, 402.2, 42.1, 44.1) in
with approx. 2 cm 1 in of positive ease

You may lengthen/shorten the body as long as you want. Other modifications on this one work as we discuss please.
Please create a project page with the following information to be added as you go along:
• Listing of yarn used & yardage
• Listing of needle size
• At least one clear photo of the finished garment – ideally modelled. I love to use testers photos on my pattern pages.
• Progress updates and photos once a week would be appreciated – even if it is very brief or to say you’re off on holiday and won’t be in contact! .
• I am looking for feedback on:
• Any errors or formatting mistakes in the written pattern .
• the yardage used for the size tested
• the finished and blocked measurements of the garment
• I am also looking for any constructive comments and suggestions to improve the pattern generally
