Semi-fitted knit top with off-center gathers using a shirring technique. I drafted the pattern using the guidelines from the Japanese pattern drafting magazine Mrs. Stylebook (MSB163, 2011/6/10, 62/181).
Rayon, lycra blend; narrow elastic for the shirred gathers; lightweight steam-a-seam 2 for the hems.
