Materials
Olympus Emmy Grande <Lame> White
(L801) 290g / 12 skeins, 12 buttons with 10mm diameter.

Tools: Crochet hook size 2/0 (Japanese size).

Finished Size:
Bust 88 cm, Length 41.5 cm, Shoulder-to-shoulder 25 cm.

Gauge:
In a 10 cm square: Pattern A = 35.5 stitches & 14 rows,
Edging pattern B = 38.5 stitches & 5.5 rows.

Point Notes:
O The bodice, hem, and frills start with a foundation chain.
The bodice is worked in Pattern A, the hem in Patterns A, B, and B’,
and the shoulders are joined with slip stitches. The frills are mainly made using front post double crochet and are attached to the shoulder ends.

O The bodice is a rectangle and not tightly fitted to the body,
so it can be worn front-to-back interchangeably.
Buttons are attached to the front opening,
and the side lace is joined while working the bodice.
If using a back opening instead, make buttonholes
and finish by sewing on the buttons.
