Notes The neckline is very low and gaped quite badly, so I redrafted the front. Aside from that, I'm very pleased with this pattern. The shirt is very flattering and I will make another one, with a higher neckline.

Both shirts are made in viscose, which worked very well, although it is not possible to roll up the sleeve (as shown in the design picture) in such a soft and draping fabric. I self-lined the back yoke, interfaced the front yoke with silk organza and interfaced the collar and neckline with a lightweight fusible. I added a band to the sleeve edge in the pink version, as a variation.

Apologies for the bad photos and rumpled shirts.

    Your fabric is definitely a better choice then mine was. Draping is important for this pattern. The neck cut is indeed low. I had stitched the 2 side underneath and that made it stop gaping for me but the V is still deep. I think that's what stopped me to try it again in a more draping fabric.
