Notes

I knit this dress using Vogue A-Line Colorblock Tunic idea.
But is very different to original Vogue model.
I knit the front and the back in three panels each because of my intarsia carriage was refusing to knit Panda cotton, so I need to invent something to make it work. I use the normal carriage and knit the central panel, after I knit side panels attaching to the central panel while knitting. That was little complicated process, but it works!
I had a look on YouTube at the tunic and really do not like how it looks on the model, is different on YouTube and in the magazine. So, I decide to make my own pattern.
Using Rhinoceros 3D Design package I built 3D model to my own likes and use it for the pattern. Result - dress fits perfectly! I am very happy.
