For the stand-up ruffle option of the Malmö bodysuit, the text in step 25 could be confusing.

The stand-up ruffle must end at the fold mark on the front placket and at the shoulder mark on the back placket. Pull on the gathering threads until the stand-up ruffle is the same length as the neckline."

A bonus in free access to transform your body into a swimsuit or a sun protective t-shirt.
