I’m thinking the right underlayer would set off that lace And give you an option to greatly change the look. It would make that top seem like several in your closet.

I especially LOVE the full bicep sleeve included - why has no one done this before? Genius! I omitted the back closure also. The one I'm making now I cut from a knit, with lace sleeves. It's kind of a wearable muslin, I don't think I'll even put a facing on it.

It's perfect for work, and as you mentioned, mine would have worked without that loop closure on the back. I may skip that part on my next one.
