Hardly amazing....lots of alteration on the raglan sleeves...the armscye is very low especially on the front bodice, sleeves are very baggy and I have plump arms.its taking a lot of fiddling

Well it's finished... and it's a nice fit eventually..I cut a C cup but don't think I needed it. I think a little on the side seams would have worked.The whole shoulder/ chest / bust was on the big side and took a lot of altercation I shortened the sleeve so it's more like a cap as the original was a bit of a daggy length.
