Knitted Lace Top

I made a knitted lace top recently which I super duper love.. though people think it makes me fat wearing it. Yet, I really love this kind of loose top which.. gives my tummy enough allowance to expand at ease.

This is basically how it looks like. I made using this video tutorial

It's really a very easy tutorial to follow. Anybody can do this. I think I've used a thicker yarn - mine appears more bulky.

I also didn't realize the owner is such a petite size woman - well photos judgment told me we were more a less the same (which turns out untrue). So never mind, I added some sleeves on to mine. It looks great anyway, don't you think so?

Various views - 

Well ignore the pants' string - It is not meant to be captured actually.. 

I was so excited and forgot to tuck it in before I snapped.
