I loved this top on Lekala site and I wanted to try. One idea was to do it for the bee but I felt it was to simple. A mistake probably. I did it a bit in a hurry - it was meant to be more of a muslin but I like it and I will wear it.
I reduced the back width a bit - it seemed to much fabric but now I see it stays weird on my hips so maybe was not good choice. he back seems a bit to long maybe I should cut down and hem again.
I did gathers in the front instead of pleats - a bit uneven and also I should have placed them more to the center or stick with the pleats next time. The sleeves cuffs fit my hand well enough without a closing needed so i skipped that.
I also widened the neck line a bit and reduced the sleeves fullness by 3-4 cm ( this was because I didn't had enough fabric otherwise).
All things considered this is a cute and easy top and I should do more.
It was a bit of the challenge but I managed to fit it all in 1 m of fabric 145 cm width.
