The Fine Lacery Shirt is made up of beautiful open lacy shells to create this summery babydoll style crochet top! Featuring a deep neckline, cap sleeves, and a wavy hem, this top is a seasonal must have!

Beginning at the top of the shirt, you will create two joined panels which fold over, joined by creating a fitted bust line, and continued to work downward in a flared effect. The shells increase in size as you work down the body. Followed by working the cap sleeves directly onto the shirt, there is minimal sewing required. The top is finished off with a wavy shelled neckline. The bust of this shirt is meant to be fitted as this pattern will stretch nicely! The body of this top gives more ease and airiness.

This shirt is easy to adjust in size, including instructions ranging from small to double extra large! You can even change it up by removing rows in the body to make a shorter garment; or grab a couple more balls of yarn and make it longer (how about a dress!)
