Pattern: Of my own devising, based on measurements from the The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns. (It's a set-in sleeve, adapted V-neck cardigan. If that helps.) I added some details like the slight bell sleeve and the cross-over front. I'm particularly fond of the absolutely luscious buttons:
They're a modern rework of a 1930s vintage design. *loves*
And here it is on:
The fit is better than that pattern would have you believe. The shoulders are perfect, which is a big improvement from the Boyfriend Sweater debacle.
Here is me being silly, but you can really see how the buttons extend around the side:
And this one is pure silliness.

You're wearing the monkey shirt under that sweater! THE monkey shirt!
Also, I adore those buttons. I want to rip them off and use them as eyes!
