I was inspired by the designs of the 1970s for this pattern and I used 4 different colors of yarn which include:

2 skeins of Mauve, 1 skein of Fuschia, 1 skein of Purple & 1 skein of Aqua (for size small) - all cotton sport #3 yarns.

Garment is crocheted in sections and then sewed together. Bodice uses tapestry crochet to create the flowers.
Skill level: Intermediate to Advanced

Note: I made this garment in Small only so I have not tested sizes Medium or Large.
Measurements: Small = Fits bust 28”-30”, Medium = Fits bust 32”-34”, Large = Fits bust 36”-38”
Change hook size to larger hook for Medium and Large
Take your measurements and adjust pattern where needed.

Size Small is crocheted with 3.5 mm / US E hook. Sizes Medium is crocheted with 4.5 mm / US G hook and size Large is crocheted with 5.5 mm / US I hook. Use the hook size that will give you the best gauge for your size.
