Yarn is Cascade 220, a workhorse yarn that is always predictable for me. Gauge is always 18 stitches, 24 rows with 4mm needles. I get a sturdy fabric with a bit of drape, and have used it for other projects (like my Amanda cardigan).
I love the finished product with the twisted ribbing at the edges - just enough definition to be interesting but still keep the simple style of the garment. I like the ease (about 3 inches upper bust, 1 inch full bust) and added about 3 inches to the length of the body. I also added an inch to the sleeves before knitting the ribbing.
It fits exactly as I planned, and was well written. Already looking ahead to what I'll knit next from Laine.
