Notes

Swatch first as Samite is slightly finer. Not too concerned about transparency as I would probably wear a cami/vest underneath anyway

My row tension is only slightly out but stitch tension out by 4 stitches. As I didn’t want to go up another needle size I decided to go up a size from what I would normally knit but knit the bodice slightly shorter so arm holes wouldn’t be too gapey…
I decided to add an edging to the arm holes rather than leave them to curl under and this really finished the tee off imo. (Pick up approx 110 stitches around armhole, knit 4 rows garter stitch, bind off)
Finished tee fits beautifully - clings in the right places but not tight.
Samite creates a beautiful fabric that softened up considerably after washing and light blocking.
38g of yarn leftover to 2 skeins would easily be enough to knit up the largest size!
Definitely one I would make again but perhaps with a wider neck line/narrower shoulder seams and maybe some short sleeves?
