Summer by the Lake Top is knitted top-down seamlessly in one piece. Increases are worked in the lower portion of the body to accommodate for hip circumference.

The top is fitted with a negative ease of 8-9 in / 20.5-23 cm.
If you want to wear this top without a bra, choose a size smaller than your regular bust.
