“Willow” is worked top-down in the round, so you can easily try it on and decide on the length in the process. You start with a circular yoke with all-over lace, then continue in reverse stockinette (I will show how to switch to knitting instead of purling, if you prefer!), finishing with ribbed hem.
I recommend minimal positive ease (2-5cm/1-2”) at the bust. You can ensure the right fit by working bust darts (provided for sizes 3-10).
