This pattern is made-to-measure so it can suit any body shape and sizes. You can choose to make this as flared or as fitted as you desire and in the length that you prefer too. And best of all, you can use any yarn you like and you don’t have to meet my gauge!

It uses mainly basic stitches of single and double crochet in turned rounds for the body followed by in turned rows for the lace panels.

To make this pattern, you need to take your bust measurement and do some simple Math for the calculations. Pattern provides examples to guide the calculations as well as pictures and video tutorials where necessary.
