It’s actually a bit big, but the waistband isn’t stretchy enough to size it down any more. I actually had to kitchener on a long-tail cast-on edge because I couldn’t get the bind off loose enough to fit over my shoulders. This silk does noooot have much give.

After reading a few reviews on the discomfort caused by Kibiso Silk, I decided to swap that for something slightly less crunchy, but still fibrous to provide a little of structure. I decided upon Habu’s Tweedy Silk, and it adds a little color variation to the top.

Even though I went up a needle size, I’m not using much yarn and perhaps overpurchased the Tweedy Silk?
