I made one the other night and it was my first attempt at knits and an Ottobre pattern. I made it with some cheap rib knit and it turned out pretty well except for the neckline. I've never done a ribbed binding before and this knit has pretty much no recovery so it was all streched out and saggy. My DD wears a size 14 t-shirt and I made the 164. The fit was nice. Not fitted or too slim, but that's how she prefers it.
Here are pictures of my second and third attempts at this top. The pattern is great, I'm just new to knits. I'm finally comfortable with the neckline construction and will be making many more of these in the future.
