Yours looks awesome!! I have a stash of knit fabrics and now I can’t help but thinking of converting all of them into cappuccino 😀
I tried to zoom in your pictures but couldn’t really see the stitches, did you use straight stitch for the neckband and all vertical seams? Should I use zigzag for the bottom hem?

I agree that muslin is the best route to take but my aunt lives overseas 🙁

Hello! I’m sewing Cappuccino tunic for my aunt and need help with the size.
Should I choose the size based on high bust or full bust for this pattern? High bust is size 4, full bust size 8 and she has B cup (5cm difference between high/full bust).
Also her waist is size 16 but hip is size 10. So should I use size 10 or 16 when grading?
