I was given my first bra at 8....I needed it. I was already a B Cup. I was so young and ALREADY had a horrible relationship with my body because it didn't make sense to me compared to the bodies of every other girl around me. Everybody else was still a little girl. I had to start covering these things growing on my chest that mostly just got in the way. Jump forward 27 years filled with avoiding woven tops like the plague because There. Was.

My Beloved Mail Lady (and her lace)

I am so excited to share maybe my favorite hack ever with you! While I had a very specific idea in mind while designing the Gather Together Sweater, it hit me one night whilst browsing Pinterest that this pattern could work for one of my other very favorite Pinsperations! I couldn't even wait for testing to be over to make it....patience is not a virtue I am well versed in. So a quick note before you jump in....you're gonna need a long metal zipper. The Joanns near me (the only craft store near me...and I needed the zipper riiiight now of course) didn't have anything other than jacket zippers....DO ...
