After monogamously knitting on this project for about a week, I just finished the upper body on Broderie! I think it's going to fit well! It's hard to tell 100% without grafting the shoulder stitches together, but I kind of pinned it together and put it on my dress form to get an idea. I probably could have shortened it from neck to bust as I am short in that area, but I just followed the pattern instructions as I did some measurements and thought they'd be pretty close.
Here it is so far (J.Lo got some (small) implants - I reduced her bust to the minimum size and then stuffed her bra.)
and a close-up of the lace:
Wow that is looking good! I know the rest of it will come out great.

It looks great! Lucky you to have a dress form :) That's one of the things on my wish list... Of course, given how tiny my apartment is; I guess it's a good thing I don't have one. I don't know where I'd put it!

It's looking fantastic! Love the yarn you are using. Hey, I do the same with my dressform (SusieQ). It's great to be able to see how your knitted garment will turn out. :)

Love this one too! It looks fantastic so far! Every time you start a new knit it always ends up going in my queue!

Gorgeous color, and I really like the neckline pattern. But when did JLo become self-conscious enough to want to wear a bra?

That is very pretty--I love the mix of patterns.

I am luvin' it!! The texture on this knitted garment is GREAT!!
You just confirmed even more why I would need a J.Lo in my life when I branch out more into knitted garments ;)
Can't wait to see you show it off on yourself!!
Great progress thus far! Keep on being monogamous!
