Modification Monday: Lacy Top
Original Pattern: #09 Lace Dress
Knitter Extraordinaire: Amanda (Ravelry ID)
Mods: Used stockinette on the body instead of garter stitch, reworked armholes, tightened up the neckline, ans added a different trim to the hem. Project page with great instructions on the knitted edging can be found here.
What Makes This Awesome: Sometimes a whole knitted dress can be a bit of a investment, not just of time, but of yarn as well. But changing it up into a beautiful top is a great alternative. This top is the perfect summer modification- it's breezy and a great mix of knitting and crochet, and I'm really impressed with the gorgeous results!

It's a really lovely top! It fits so well.
I love this! Absolutely gorgeous!
Georgeus!! How you do the boubles? When I make them I also make holes :(
It's adorable! I love the mod, knit dresses just aren't for me.
Love the modification! Very flattering.
The arm holes are a perfect fit now and I agree with Katarzyna, the bobbles really make all the difference. Craftily adapted!
This is gorgeous, love it! All the design elements work perfectly together, there is so much going on but it all works together!
