some good, some bad

Pros:
-instructions are well done
-nice nipped waist on virtually any body type
-well drafted, and well proportioned all the way into larger sizes (i.e. no gaping armholes, no linebacker shoulders)

Cons:
-the sleeves are designed very long, so measure carefully with the cuff before cutting the fashion fabric
-the shaping is almost exclusively in the side seams, which means that if you’re not careful:
—>1) you will have a weirdly flared hip
—>2) you may see bunching above the rear if you have a full seat
—>3) you may see sagging in the lower back if you have a more noticeable S-curve

This was my first time making a button down shirt. I have made button down shirt-dresses in the past, but the cuff/placket were a new thing for me. They caused me a lot of anxiety, but as said before, the instructions were great, and both details turned out flawlessly.
