The Roaring 20s is lightly fitted, beaded drop-shoulder top, inspired by one of Cora Crawley’s outfits in Downton Abbey. Knit in the round from the bottom up to the armholes, then worked flat and finished with a 3-needle bind-off. The loose gauge gives a slightly see-through, drapey fabric.

The top is designed to be worn with 5-10 cm/ 2-4 inches of positive ease. Finished measurements range from 94 to 124 cm at full bust. The waist shaping is optional.
