Tivoli!
I got stuck in a meeting until 12:30, and missed today's meeting. And after staying up after midnight to block Tivoli!
Here she is:
She's a little loose, particularly in the back:
I'll probably do my next one at least two inches smaller, but I do like it as it is. The looser fit is ladylike, and the extra drape in the back is kind of pretty. I've got an idea for a lace-embellished variant for myself, and just started one for my mom yesterday.
If I may show off: when I resized the pattern, I made the underarms too wide, showing my bra edge and framing that underarm flab... I fixed it, not by frogging, but by grafting! I took a yarn needle and stitched up four stitches on either side of both armholes, narrowing it nicely. Invisible, if I do say so myself:

Ohhh ... it looks great. I agree with your assessment of the back drape. It is ladylike and luckily you have the shoulders to pull it off. Kudos!

That looks great Jessica. And the grafting is quite impressive! :-)
