This dress was designed out of my fascination of the endless possibilities in using the very beautiful increasings and decreasings in brioche knitting. Not only to shape and make the great fit of this dress, but also to completely define the design.

I have not had the opportunity to test this pattern in the two bigger sizes, that is one of the reasons why I decided to make this pattern available for free. I would therefore very much appreciate if you could return with some feedback, corrections, mistakes to the pattern etc. if you choose to knit this dress. Thank you in advance.

Pattern is a knee length dress, but as it is worked from the top down, it is really simple to change your work into a top or a shorter dress if desired. Simply just stop knitting when you think the length is enough.

I hope you will enjoy the work as much as I did when making this dress.
