Construction:

top-down construction
you start with a long cast on row for the whole width from sleeve end to sleeve end and go on working in rows back and forth. in the first step you work the upper back piece.
the back neckline shaping and shoulder shaping uses GSRs.

for step 2 you cast on from the shoulder stitches for the front (left and right are worked separately until end of button band). the front neckline and shoulder shaping is also managed by GSRs and additional cast ons.

the body is worked in the round, with some more rows of underarm shaping using three needle bind off and common increases.
