Notes

Changed the pattern straps: did a 7 stitch ichord (key: do 6 stitches, and the back side will be really stretched out. At end, pick up 1 st at beginning and with crochet hook ladder up to top to tighten up ichord and make it look nice).

Added set of 4 button-holes to the end of each ichord, so I can wear the camisole as a halter, cami, or with crossed shoulder straps.

Used some vintage button’s of my grandmother’s: perfect size and look really cute.

Also added elastic thread to the inside of the top garter part- keeps the front from gaping (which it was prone to do previous - perhaps because I placed the straps in the front rather wide apart)

If I were to do the pattern again I would have done less shaping on the back - I don’t need the top expansion on the back, though the bottom decreases are nice for my bum.
