Gauge Swatch feels "flimsy"
I knitted my gauge swatch for the Simple Knitted Bodice and came out right @ 20 stitches per inch on #7, but the swatch feeles really flimsy. I'm using the Tilli Thomas yarn. It's soft, but it just feels like it should be tighter? I guess I'm just looking for reassurance before I cast on. Also I am waivering between a medium and a large. Is it running true to size?

read the design notes--it explains that the yarn grows on you as you wear it. it's a very flexible yarn when worn, it seems. i knitted a medium, the size recommended for my measurements, and i did need to knit a few additional rows to get the inset where i wanted it to begin (below the bustline), but it's otherwise seeming true to size. i'll be binding off later today, so i'll know for sure then.
