difficulty: advanced

sizing
the dress has a positive ease of around 6 cm. measure your bust, add 6 cm, and this will show what size you should knit. if you are in between sizes, measure your hip, and let this decide what size you should knit. it’s worth noting that the dress doesn’t have a defining waist, and will therefore be shaped by your body only. choose the size that gives a wanted fit, choose 0-3 cm positive ease for a tight fitted dress, and around 15 for an oversized fit. the dress in the photo is knitted in size 3 and the model has a breast circumference of 85 cm.
