Notes	This blouse is very nice, though the neckline is much wider than the model drawing shows it, which is frustrating. In my version the shoulders are too narrow because I entered the wrong adjustments, which may account for some of the pulling. The neckline doesn't sit too well, though maybe it would sit better if the shoulders fit properly. I don't like that the pleats turned out tiny, more like little tucks than pleats. I'm pretty sure this is a result of the way the software adjusted for my small bust. I also dislike that the v-neck is just finished with topstitching, no facing. But it's a lovely design and, as usual, I'm impressed by the fit I get with Lekala (other than my own mistakes).
