Pattern instructions
I sewed the shoulder ties together for a half of an inch. I laid the back tie to the front, placed the front tie over it and pinned it just at the back of my shoulder. This way, I don't have to have a bulky knot on my shoulder if I don't want to. And added bonus: if I don't tie the strap, it creates a sort of cap sleeve. Two looks for one.
Fit
Perfect.
Conclusion
Jumpsuit for knits, it is flowy, summery with the open legs and a bit different with the asymmetrical shoulder tie.
Dislike: because of the ties, you will line the top with the same fabric. That makes my top pretty warm. Perhaps for a very summery jumpsuit use a thinner fabric.
