Kira K. Designs Abalone Shell PDF

The sleekly fitted upper bodice and gracefully draping body makes the Abalone Shell the perfect top for warm spring and summer days. The bodice is started in the round, and then separated into front and back. The lace body is worked downward from the foundation chain. For the most flattering fit, choose your size based on the over-bust measurement, which should fit with little or no ease.
