Description:
Dresses have always been my favorite pieces in my closet, so I’m thrilled to introduce this timeless and flirty knit dress! Don’t let the length of the dress fool you -- worsted weight yarn works up fast!

Sizing:
This pattern is knit from the top down in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) for bust sizes 28-62” 72-157 cm.

This pattern has 0-2” 0-5 cm of negative ease in the bust, 1-3” 2.5-7.5 cm of positive ease in the waist, and 2-4” 5-10 cm of positive ease in the hips. The ease is built in, so choose the size that best fits your actual measurements.

Yarn & Yardage:
I’ve worked up samples in both a cotton/nylon blend and 100% baby alpaca and I think it’s perfect both ways!

Look for a yarn that’s not too heavy, and be sure to block your swatch so you know how your finished product will grow.
