I'm broken

Even though I didn't work on thursday and friday and rested some on the weekend my body didn't get well again after working half-time three days. I worked today too, and my feet, back and arms hurt. Tomorrow I have a day of from the work-testing, because I'm working with my real job: I'm giving two lectures, one on medieval dress and one on dress and gender.
I hope it all goes well, despite that I'm too tired to do any preparation tonight. I will, however, work a little on my coming lecture on 18th century clothing. It's on next Monday so I will have to work on the lecture and presentation every day after work-testing and on the weekend.

Yesterday I worked on adapting this pattern. It's 4 sizes too small, so I had to add quite a lot at bust and waist, while still keeping the shoulder width, or at least not increasing them more than a couple of centimetres. I am planning to make a dress from this fabric and wear it with the belt further down in the post. Good Omens is there because Azriphale thinks that tartan is stylish, and so do I.
I was very tired when I got home, but now I think I can start clearing off the kitchen table and then maybe start cutting.

What modern swedish size would you say that the pattern is? So cute btw!
