I made a size 8 using sportweight yarn and the recommended needles. After I finished the body I had to knit 1 more inch to meet the pattern requirements. I didn’t check my gauge so probably I was a bit off.
The lace is beautiful and although I love my yarn choice I think a plain colour will highlight the lace a bit better.

I used wires to block it and it really helped to show the lacework.

The top is really lovely and I’m very happy with it.
I like to wear it with a basic white layer underneath.
