The original pattern for this was a regular ballerina wrap with a tie on the side or in the back. I made this very much so custom for a friend. She wanted longer sleeves, buttons to fasten, and longer in the front, rather than a cropped top. It was kind of a pain to customize but the finished product is really nice and it looks lovely on her. I loved working with Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool and I think the buttons that I picked out are perfect. The size 8 bamboo circular needles made the knitting so smooth and quick. To finish my deadline, I knitted for over 12 hours non-stop. It took over 2 hours just to sew, create edging, and weave ends!
