Notes	I use this pattern on a 2 meters cotton voile large scale praisley like pattern. I used double layer for the back yoke. I omitted the button placket. I added a ruffle to make it long. Fit: i think it could be larger at the hip, to fit more comfortably. I lined it with cotton voile , I found the sleeve fitted tight in the armpit and pulling on my back, although I set the wide back option. I had to open the cuff for comfort . Otherwise I am happy with it. Oh I added packets inside : outside it would break the pattern.
