The Aeolian tee has been incredibly popular for a reason - it's a great pattern that sews up really quickly and looks great.
My measurements placed me as 12-14 which falls in the medium size range. As a first go around I decided to make this up as drafted with no additional length or other changes and I really like the way it fits. I think one of my favourite features is the wide hems, I love the way they look.
For this version I used a viscose jersey from Tessuti Fabrics and I really like the drape it gives the top. The only thing I would change would be to cut the neckband a little shorter, the drape of the fabric provides just a little bit too much give.
It has possibly been corrected by now but I did note that the pattern has incorrect instructions on the neck facing piece. It says to cut one on fold, but there is no fold, you just cut one piece.
I've also seen some great versions of this in a woven fabric and I'd been keen to try that too. So many patterns, so little time!
