Worked in one piece from bottom up to armholes.

Side shaping, plus center back shaping AND pleat for extra feminine touch.

Bottom edges of body and sleeves are hemmed.

Faced lapel / front edge with crisp foldline. Collar with undercollar.

Any yarn or combination of yarns which yield gauge would be appropriate. I used 3/2 perle cotton (about 18 wpi) in a gauge which does not sag or distort over time.
