I made this item for myself, and only partially used the linked pattern-I created a lot of the design myself so that he shaping was more suitable for an hourglass figure/bigger chest without looking like a tent which the original design would have. I used a variety of colours in cotton blends to give a nice summery design for me to take on holiday later in the year. I made this while recovering from an operation and needed something to distract me from the pain and being immobilised while I recovered. It took quite a while, especially since I had altered the pattern significantly. The bottom lace border hem on the pattern, I kept repeating upwards with open front and then switched to a lace rib knit under the bust for shaping and a tie woven in and out around to tie at the front, and then the top half is the same as the pattern with buttons down the bust and the same sleeves and collar as the pattern
