Another link to photo of KS top with the overlay attached. This is an interesting pattern and with Kwik Sew patterns, normally the instructions and drawings are most helpful.

However it never tells you to baste or pin for before turning inside out to sew shoulder seams together.
The drawing shows basting stitches of the overlay to the front and back of the top. I knew to do that but for a beginning this could be an issue.
