DESCRIPTION
Is it a dress, a peplum, or a tank top? You get to choose!

This 3-in-1 pattern provides instructions for a tank top, a peplum top, and a dress, so you can choose your favorite style this summer!

The For the Love of Tulips Dress is completely seamless and is constructed from the top down, allowing you to try it on as you go and providing customization instructions, to make any necessary adjustments in order to create a garment that fits YOU perfectly.

The body employs a series of short rows to make the transition from the rounded collar, with the back neck raised so the top sits nicely on your shoulders and back.

The rest of the garment is then worked normally in the round featuring the beautifully textured lotus stitch. The peplum and dress feature a ribbed stitch pattern for a non-transparent and ruffled skirt. A slip stitch edging is added around the armholes for that perfect finish!

The fabric is dense and not at all see through, allowing you to wear this directly on the skin on hot summer days! You can also opt for a chemise underneath or a blazer on top, for a classy and chic look.

The printable PDF pattern has you covered with step-by-step instructions from start to finish, with tutorial photos to help you pass the more intricate sections. The clear instructions presented in an easy-to-follow layout leave absolutely no guesswork for you.

The sizing for this pattern is based on the standard Craft Yarn Council (CYC) measurements.

This garment is designed to be worn with no more than 5 cm (2″) of positive ease around the bust.

Measure around the fullest part of your bust and add up to 5 cm (2″) to this measurement, depending on your desired amount of positive ease, and choose a size that is closest to this number. If you’re in between sizes, size down.

All my garment patterns are #sizeinclusive up to at least a 60” bust circumference.
