The top is worked in one piece, from top to bottom, seamless.

The stitch pattern is very elastic - it gradually stretches at the bust and hips, and tightens at the waist, giving the top an excellent fit even with no decreases made.

If you need a larger size than those offered, you can adapt the pattern by slightly changing your gauge. The description contains the pictures showed each size construction:
