As seen on The Martha Stewart Show! A ribbed bustier - great for layering or wearing alone. This is a simple, yet elegant piece that will knit up quickly and is very versatile. Dress it up with a blouse and skirt, layer it over your favorite dress, or dress it down with a pair of jeans.

Since this is a ribbed piece, it’ll stretch to fit you snugly. The bustier in the image is a size small, and on a 32” bust. The small will stretch up to 36” and the ribs will sit further apart.
