Crochet summer shirt

-
I have crocheted few garments before, and I would like to do those much more.
The idea for this summer shirt came to me one evening and I just started to carry out my idea.

The yarn is Drops Paris which I bought while ago for a testing purposes. 
I used 5 mm hook but looking the finished shirt I think that maybe hook 4.5 mm would have been better. I have to remember this when I am planning a new garment. 
Maybe I should consider to do a swatch.

I crocheted two pieces, the front piece has a heart and the backside is striped. Short sleeves have ruffle edge and the hem has a minor fan. 

Pattern: my own
Yarn: Drops Paris
Hook: 5 mm
