Final:

Size - 4/5, B-cup (following the same draft approach as mentioned in the muslin/toile section).

Although I decided to go up a size for this project, I also made a few other pattern construction mods. With the viscose fabric being quite drapey, I traced out the pattern flat and cut the fabric flat (vs. cutting it on the fold).

One mistake I made through the fabric cutting process is that I cut out two BACK pieces rather than a FRONT and a BACK. To fix this problem, I layed the FRONT pattern piece on top of one of the BACK fabric pieces (to cut out the front scoop neckline).

I had a seam mod that I did on the pattern test (that I wanted to do again). I did not sew the top with the suggested french seams. The pattern seam allowance is ?”. I sewed the underarm seam with a standard straight stitch (with the wrong sides together).

Then I clipped into the curve of the underarms to open up the flexibility of the seam.

I serged the edge of the fabric to finish while still keeping the curve flexible (through the clipped seam).

Sleeve cuffs:

For the sleeve cuffs, I layed out the fabric pieces and compared which print layout I liked best (to decide the right and wrong side of the cuffs).
