Beginning with a picot cast-on, the body is worked in a lacy tube from the hem to the underarms, then box pleats are used to decrease stitches at the front. The back is knit for a little ways in garter stitch to raise the back neck, then extra stitches are cast on for the straps and the yoke is shaped in garter stitch.
