A sexy top with a vintage flavour by Pyogazel

Is it knit? no, it’s crocheted !

A pattern for a crochet rib top with a slented neck and delicate lace inserts.

The garment is designed to be close fitting, with negative ease, instructions are given for size L (44), with suggested modifications for sizes XL (46), M (42) and S (40). But what we really care about is…
Yes, you got me :

The bust line !

This design is curve-friendly!
Instructions are given for a busty figure (think Jane Mansfield, cups F and G), with suggested modifications for
boyish (think Jane Birkin, cups A and B),
curvy (think Marilyn Monroe, cups C to E), and
super busty (think Mamie Van Doren , cup H and I).

Uses light fingering yarn and sizes D (3 mm) and C (2,75 mm) crochet hook.

Yarn suggestion : 3 ply thread with a blend of rayon, or one of the yarns mentionned above, preferably not 100% cotton.
The picture shows a blend of 3 laceweight threads held together : 2 acrylic in red, 1 rayon in light pink.
