The Bodacious Blouse is a twist on a top down sweater with open sleeves and optional shoulder fastenings for a stand out statement piece.
For my sample I chose to add large bows in satin fabric at the shoulder, however this is where you can truly use your creativity to fasten the shoulder in any way you wish. Use leather, buttons, tulle, lace, anything you can come up with for an absolutely one of a kind blouse.
The top is constructed top down in turned rows using primarily esc. This will be a perfect top for summer with the open shoulders. Dress it up wth a skirt or throw it on with some jeans for a night out on the town.

Worked from the top down and in the round so you can adjust the body so that it is a perfect fit to you.

The body is completely customizable so that you can get your perfect fit.

It comes in 9 sizes so everyone can make this beautiful top!
