New Look 6892 Liberty Peasant Top

先週末涼しくなったので、もう熱波は去ったかと思って長袖のシャツを作ろうと思っていたのだけど、やっぱりまた暑くなったので半そでのトップを作りました。
型紙はニュールックの6892番。もう3回使っているけど（袖が小さすぎ、結構お気に入りだけど肩がこる、布が固すぎ）、未だに「完ぺき」って言えるフィット感が出ず。
布はリバティのタナローン。
布の品質はいいんだけど、とても「家庭科で作った」感で微妙。

The weather cooled down considerably last weekend so I planned on making a long sleeve shirt. However, the heat wave has come back and has been continuing so a quick short sleeve shirt it is.

The pattern is New Look 6892. I have used this pattern 3 times before but have not nailed the fit yet (Attempt 1. Sleeve too small; Attempt 2. Like it but gets stiff shoulder; Attempt 3. Fabric too stiff).

I used the last of my Liberty tana lawn stash for this top.

I made a View C, a short sleeve version. Cut a size 10, then graded out to size 12 at hip. Other modifications are:
-Took in 1" of back bodice width at center back fold (so 2" total width);
-Added 1/2" to front bodice width at center front fold (so 1" total);
-Lengthened above bust 1.5";
-Lowered front neck 1.5";
-Lengthened sleeve 1.5"; and
-Added back ties

I have a mixed feeling about this shirt. One, while the Liberty fabric is great to work with and to wear, the print is a bit too homey and the final shirt looks a bit too much home-ecky. I have a good meter left of this fabric but I'm not sure what to do with it now.

And two, the placement of the tie is 2" too low (I like empire waist silhouette). I know I could rip the side seam and re-position the tie but I am too lazy to pick french seam.

The fit is still not perfect. The back is poofy without the tie, but with the tie, I'm moving the side seam towards back too much. The proportion of the sleeve is not right either.

I am definitely struggling with this seemingly simply top.
