Notizen	I used this model as a base to imitate a RTW top I saw. I drafted the piece over the bust. I have to admit it took many tries to get it right and I don't even remember what changes I made! The original model is drafted to be very small and short; I enlarged and lengthened it quite a bit so it would fit the way I wanted it to (close to zero ease, not very negative like the original). I used striped fabric to emphasize the feature (mystery knit, mostly rayon/elastane but probably some polyester as well) After trying it on, the neckline was too loose so I took it in at the seams (between the front piece and the yoke) quite a bit. That's why the overlay no longer starts at the corner. It was a lot of fiddling and adjustments but I'm very happy with how it turned out at the end.
