Notes	This model is very fast to sew up and looks great. My fabric (Rayon/Polyester/Lycra knit) would have been the perfect size (~1.25yd), but not with my modifications. I wanted the skirt part to be maxi length and with flare, so I had to sacrifice the sleeves and used coordinating scrap fabric instead. The back pattern piece was taller and didn't fit the fabric so I put in a ruffle at the bottom since I had to piece it anyway. I raised the neckline 3cm and it's still deep for me. Next time I'll raise it more and also make it less wide. I also eased in the dart take-up instead of sewing in the dart because I didn't think it would look good in this thin knit.
