Beautiful, if a bit of overkill. ;-)

Double princess seams would be a good place to hide the
excessive dart
control needed by the overly-endowed, and I love the
paired godets.

I wonder whether the distance between the two seams is
uniform, or
whether it varies subtly to give the *illusion* of being
uniform --
like the entasis on greek columns.

Neck is too low for those who need bras --

Hmmm, the description does say it has "neckline variations"
and one illustration shows it with more of a "boat" neck,
than scooped.

how would it
look with a
mandarin collar; I look really *great* in mandarin
collars. It would
be cool with contrast fabric between the princess seams,
but that
messes up the godets. Match godet and stripe? Third
color? Omit
godets? Cut off at top of godets and wear over slacks?

An inspiring pattern indeed -- but that back zipper has
got to go!

(Of course, if you change to a high neck, it has to go
back in again.
Though I've been known to put a zipper in a shoulder
seam.)

I was fascinated by: "A: sleeveless with raw edges at lower
edge and applied hem band with raw edges."

I may just have to get that pattern to investigate further.
