It’s the knit dress that you never knew you needed, but once it’s in your closet, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Dress it up or dress it down, the To the Nines Dress has endless possibilities. Make it a shift dress, make it more fitted, make it with fuzzy yarn or make it sleek. All your friends will be begging you to make one for them ;)
