Notes	I chose to color block this pattern to highlight the neckline feature. My modifications included taking 2 cm off the sleeve length and about 2.5 cm of the hem length. I agree with others' comments that the sleeve flounce was not wide enough but I was too lazy to make modifications. Instead, I attempted a lettuce hem with serger rolled hem and variegated threads, but it wasn't very successful because the flounce hem was not on very deep bias -- it was too close to the cross grain to stretch much.
