And repeat the same method for the second piece.

After we got 2 pieces finished. Will look like this.

Assemble.

Lay two pieces in flatted side by side then fold them in half.

Use yarn needle to sew in the middle part to creat the back panel and sew on the side  to create the body and for the harmhole no sew for 5-6 inches.

Adding the sleeve is for the option.

Join yarn at any part of the armhole and sc around the armhole for 1 round.

Then chain2 to start the 

simple lace at the sleeve.

then dc in same st, * ch1,skip1st, dc in next st * repeat this* to * until end of round.
