Octavia Dress is worked top down. At first the two color eyelet piece around the neck is worked. On the sleeveless version the back and front is then worked separately back and forth until under the arms when the work is then joined again and worked in the round. On the version with long sleeves the rest of the yoke is worked in one piece in the round with raglan increases. The skirt is finished with a two color eyelet pattern the as the one around the neck. The dress is worked in one piece and therefore only requires minimal finishing.
