Repeat Row 2-5 until you’ll reach 7 rows of leaves, finish with row 4. The length of the lace part depends on the length of the top.
Crochet 37 hdc across each side of the top. If you need a bigger or smaller size make more or less stitches in this part. The number of rows of hdc depends on your measurement (measure around the fullest part of your bust). I crocheted 65 rows on each side.
Join the sides with sl st in the front loop only.
