Surplice Bodice Camisole Pattern
by Joan McGowan-Michael
Directions for this project inKnitting Lingerie Style, shown below. This camisole was inspired by the fashions of the French Revolution. The empire waistline creates the illusion of length and camouflages a bottom-heavy figure or thick waist, while the visible bust-darts, surplice shaping and ribbon lacing offer form as well as eye-catching detail to carry the eye upward. The sheer lace stitch at the bottom adds a flirty touch while slimming the body with a loose, flowy fit. Shown in Main Line Ivory.- Needles:
- Sizes 6 and 7: circular or straight
