The only criticism I have of this pattern is that it has no pockets! And silly me, I forgot to add them in.
I like the simplicity of the Alix. The pleated back and waist tie and give it a flattering shape without any fit issues to consider beyond the bust. I did an FBA for this pattern, basically elongating the front yoke and centre of the cups by an inch and a half.
The elasticated cuffs meant I didn’t have to worry about closures, but next time I will probably add some button cuffs instead.
