Looking through Ravelry, I know there are some questions out there about the pattern. I'll try to answer them as best as I can.
1. The skirt is from Anthropologie a few seasons ago.
2. I'm 5'4" and have a 47" bustline. The 7" negative ease is what makes the garment shorter on me (losing length to width, some of you might remember Poisson's ratio from your materials science classes). My guess is that a garment closer to your actual bust measurement would be proportionately longer.
3. Malabrigo Silky Merino is classified as dk, but it fluffs up a bit. At the 16sts x 20 rows gauge, it's a pretty stretchy fabric. Here's a close up of my gauge swatch.
4. Yes, the collar is just supposed to roll like that. If you don't want it to, adding a bit of ribbing should help, but I haven't tried it.I hope this helps. Happy knitting.

Pretty!! congrats on the Knitty pick and on a beautiful desigh. I've been looking for a cute vest for the fall and everything else looks so...kind of the same.
Yours is really different and cool and will look great with a long-sleeved t-shirt in the winter and over a cami when the weather starts warming up again.
Love it!
It's a lovely top you've created and gorgeous color!
