I modified the skirt part of the dress to fit my “petite” stature: i’m 5.2ft tall

• from the armhole, my dress total length is 65 cm (25 ½ “)
• width at the hem is also 65 cm.
• I decreased for the waist as per pattern
• I made only increases every 4 rounds and went until I had 238 total stitches (enough for 7 pattern repeats) : 74 st between markers (round #141)
• then I followed chart 6 from row 33 and finished as per pattern

I also modified the sleeves which were too large

• K63 SSK K5 K2TOG ➔ 70 st
• K63 SSK K3 K2TOG ➔ 68 st
