THIS GLAMOROUS yet incredibly comfortable dress with a round neck and short sleeves was designed by Bärbel Eßlinger, who specialises in beautiful ready-to-wear knitted
fashions in her native Germany. The dress’s simple shape helps to draw attention to the beautiful fabric, created in a mohair-silk yarn. The finished garment is then embroidered with polka dots in a contrasting shade.
