Casual and comfortable, this top is as easy to make as it is to wear. The simple openwork lace fabric can be dressed up or down depending on your day. Use simple buttons at the shoulder seam for a subtle style or add a bright jeweled button for a bit of bling.

The Shell is stitched in two easy panels, alternating sections of lace
shells with solid “ribbons.” Sew side seams and add buttons on each shoulder for easy on and off plus extra style credits! The chain spaces on the top row also function as button loops, so there is no complicated finishing needed, and you can customize button amount and placement if desired.
