Inspired by the lovely Lupine flowers and their stalked coloured blooms, Summer Lupine is a lacy top for a sunny day.

This is a pattern for a bottom up tunic/dress/tank. It is intended to be worn with negative ease over the bust and has a lace and rib motif. The overall shape is A-line or trapeze and with straps forming a gentle flared edge.
