How about some old fashioned romance:

Rib Tee in Tussah Silk with eyelet neck edge and silk ribbon.

Simple, yet striking, and at the same time not too posh for everyday wear. Change the colour of the silk ribbon according to the occasion or your mood.

Construction:
The body is worked bottom up, and the sleeves top down, seamless and in one piece with an eyelet neck edge.

Size: S (M, L, XL)
Will fit bust size 86 (90, 94, 99) cm / 34 (35.5, 37, 38.5) inches.
Sample is shown in size S on bust size 86 cm.

Finished measurements:
bust 88 (92, 96, 101) cm / 34.5 ( 36.25, 37.75, 39.75) inches
length from shoulder to hem 54 (54, 55, 56) cm
length from underarm to hem 35 cm
sleeve length from underarm 9 cm

Because of the rib construction the Tee will have no ease when wearing it.

Yarn:
Fingering weight.
