Pattern Details
The camisole is knit from the bottom up in the round for the lace portion based on your waist measurement and then knit back and forth with decreases to shape the top based on your bust measurement. An applied i-cord bind off is knit to neatly join the whole upper border of the camisole. Depending on desired strap style, 1 or 2 i-cords are knit to desired strap length.

I highly recommend swatching for both stockinette and the lace chart as some testers switched needle sizes between the two.
