Polka dots denim wrap shirt - Lekala 4651

I am always looking out to see what new patterns Lekala released and I have been quite uninterested in most of the latest ones but this one shirt caught my eye. It is a wrap style with a bow tie and asymmetrical front. Lekala 4651:

I had it printed for a while but it took me quite some time deciding in what fabric to make it. In the end decided to not use any "muslin" fabric but shoot for a good version right from the start. So I used one of my dear thin denim polka dots fabrics. Maybe it was a good thing - I don't think I would have wore it at all if I didn't loved the fabric.... or maybe it was a bad thing - the result is not very high on my favorites list and I don't plan on using the pattern a second time....
    I had some real troubles putting together the previous Lekala pattern I had done and I still had not reviewed so I though I should take some step by step pictures this time just in case someone wanders how I put this together:
   I 1st marked the back and bust darts and sewed that up, I cut in my paper to make it easier to transfer those marks:

After that I interfaced the facings, the cuffs and the front edge :

I sewed the front and back facings together on on to their corresponding pieces:

After that I sewed the last front piece, turned the facings inside and finished it white/red stripe - I thought it would look cleaner and more playful like that:

I top stitched the facings in place:

After that I sewed the sleeves in flat:

And only after sewed and serge finished the side seams:

When I tried on the sleeves almost hit my elbows before adding the cuffs.... so I trimmed those just a little bit - I was afraid my cuffs would not fit if shortened to much and I had no fabric left to cut new ones and decided I want the cuffs turned so I sewed them right sides together to get a clener look when turned:

 I was happy at this point and almost done when I tried it on and realized it was gaping badly..

The only fix I could find to this was to overlap the 2 fronts slightly differently :

And now one of my sides was significantly longer then the other ... Bah!!!! I could have probably made a better finishing than this but I was really annoyed but this so I just cut the extra and attached the waistband - that hits nowhere near my waist...

I think the shirt is not really flattering but at least is done and wearable. I love the fabric so i will probably wear it a few times but ... not really what I have hoped for:
