Pattern available in French and English. 

Directly inspired by the cult series of the 90s, the Buffy Top revisits the fitted camisole with an elegance all in simplicity. Its close-fitting cut, with no ease, highlights the silhouette and evokes that iconic retro look, both minimalist and assertive.
The detail that makes all the difference: a delicate lace finish, subtle and refined, which adds a touch of femininity. Worn alone or layered, the Buffy Top fits perfectly into a modern wardrobe while giving a clear nod to the aesthetic of the 90s.

SIZE GUIDE
The Buffy top is designed to have approximately 0 cm 0 inch of positive ease; you can also choose to have a little positive or negative ease according to your preference.

The model in the photo is wearing a size 2 for a bust circumference of 86 cm 34 inches for a negative ease of 2.5 cm 1 inch.

If you have a large difference between your upper bust and your bust, I recommend selecting your size based on your upper bust for a better drape at the shoulders. You can then modify the number of stitches under the armholes when joining in the round to increase by one size. You can also then create decreases at the waist if desired.

Difficulty: Intermediate Beginner
Techniques used: Increase, decrease, yarn over, bind off with needle.
