Choose a size that is 8-10 cm / 3-4” lesser than your bust circumference to make sure you get that good stretch look and for nice fit beautifully.

I recommend wearing the summer lace top with silicone nipple pasties so that the bust do not show through the lace pattern. But for more daring girls, you can do without nipple pasties. Be patient:) This is not a very fast process, as sometimes you have to work with a large number of stitches.
The Lace summer top is a light and airy with a playful pattern. It is not like a basic tank top with a stockinet stitch. This strapless top is made for beautiful and free summer outfits. You can wear it with denim shorts or linen banana pants. For a sophisticated look, wear the lace top over a white shirt.
The Summer Lace Top worked with one strand of cotton yarn weight DK. The jumper is knitted bottom up (or top down, you decide this yourself, since the top and bottom of the top are the same) in the round.
The Lace summer top has an fit style and available in four sizes (XS-XXL). You can see sizes XS in the picture (Model S size).
