DESCRIPTION

The Bold Stripe Dress is a maxi dress designed for relaxed everyday elegance. It features an oversized straight silhouette that drapes over the body for a comfortable, easy-to-wear fit. A stripe running vertically along the back adds an expressive detail to this clean and minimalist look. The classic round neckline and elbow-length sleeves enhance effortless styling.

The dress is knitted top down, starting with the neck at the back, followed by the fronts. After joining the front with the back, the length is reached by working in rounds. Decreases at the bottom part of the dress create a nice drape and refined shape. For the neckline stitches are picked up, knitted, folded and sewn down. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches along the armholes and knitted in rounds with some decreases.
