This pattern is actually just a modification of my Easy & Quick Crochet Top, minus the ribbed effect and strap. I tweaked the design into a halter style and open back corset so you can easily adjust the pattern to fit you perfectly.
You can wear this pattern as a bikini top or make it longer to suit your style.
