Looking at the side view of the stripes parallel to the floor, I think that patter could use a little more length in the area between your shoulder and the apex of your bust. You have it fitted so well i all other ways, that one tweek would make the front hang just a bit more smoothly and straight. Still, even without the tweek, that is a great way to use up “serious” or “business” shirting fabric.

I also think this would be great for a zoom work call. There are a lot of beautiful makes out there but yours are always ones I want and feel I could wear. Can't wait to see the next ones.
