This shell is perfect on its own or over a tee shirt. The color change below the bust line looks like a lace insert and the color work on the bust draws the eye upward.

This shell skims the top of the hips. The overall effect makes your waist look smaller and adds visual curves. You can make it longer to fit over the hips, if desired.

Done in the round until the color work starts, this shell only requires 1 small seam and 2 three needle bind offs.
