I want to make an A shaped dress, fit at the yoke, but loose as it progresses down the body. I plan on adding some colorwork at the bottom of the dress. Sleeves will reach the elbow.

Started this project using the yoke pattern from the Simplest Sweater.
Followed the pattern until I split the stitches for the sleeves. After that, I worked 2 rows of knitting in the round - having stitch markers at the beginning and middle.
I had to increase the number of stitches, so after 2 rows of knitting, I increased once every 7th stitch, before reaching the half of the torso I increased after the sixth stitch. Slipped the marker for the middle, continued to increase every 7th stitch and before reaching the end of the row, I did a last increase after the sixth stitch.
Worked 8 rows of plain knitting.
Worked another increase, every 8th stitch (7th stitch before the middle marker & before the end of row).
Will work 12 rows of knitting in the round then will think about how to increase further.
