Construction notes:
1. This garment is worked in two color band sequence. For
the color change, the non-working color is not interrupted
and transferred until it is in work by interweaving it with
the working color on the wrong side (WS) immediately after
selvage stich.
2. There is only one possible size of bust darts, which was
mentioned in the pattern, as it is limited by stripy pattern in
this case.
3. Both – the first and the last stitches along all details – are
selvage stitches even if it is not mentioned about them further in the pattern.
4. While casting on and binding off, do not forget to leave
enough yarn ends for seaming and joining pieces later.
5. For short rows back neckline shaping, pattern uses technique of Aistė Butkevičienė (aisteb1973):

6. The pattern has been written for size M and difference for
sizes L and XL is given in brackets accordingly. If there is only
one number, it belongs to all sizes.

while working on short rows. Pick the wrapping stitch to
