SilhouetteDress is knitted top-down in a light and soft bamboo blend, using two strands held together throughout. The dress features small buttons all the way down along the left front edge, allowing it to be styled in several different ways. Throughout the work, the dress is shaped with increases and decreases that follow the feminine silhouette and create an elegant look – this can be adjusted as needed.
