Seamwork Hayden top

I've been on a quest for a top pattern. I hoped the Seamwork Hayden pattern would do the trick.

My hopes were dashed. This is the first time I have not had the sleeves fit. I had this mostly worked up in October, but was stuck since the sleeves were so tight. I waited until this month's Open Sew Workshop, and with Niku's help I was able to hack the sleeves so they mostly fit. It's still a bit tight. I think it fits good across the upper bust, but feel like it's really big everywhere else. Not sure if the quilting cotton is impacting the drape.

Niku reworked the sleeve pattern for me so it should fit next time. I'm undecided if I will make this again or not.

Size made: 18
Bust 46.75"
Waist 43
Hips 49
