Finished Size: 31 (34½, 38, 41½, 44¾)" bust circumference. Camisole shown measures 34½".
Small buttons, short fitted sleeves, and crocheted edgings give this simple summer top a vintage look. A narrow ribbon tie defines the empire waist and separates the bodice, worked in a cloverleaf eyelet pattern, from a deep rib scored with columns of fagot lace. The top is worked in a linen yarn that will soften and drape with repeated washings.
