NOTE - The recommended yarn has been discontinued.
The pattern is written spesifically with Pickels Booboo in mind, which is a yarn with alot of ease after the first wear. It is knit smaller to fit after it’s eased out. If knitting with another yarn you might need to go up in size, even if the gauge is correct. However, even with that said I cannot guarantee it’s fit when knitting with another yarn.
I have therefore deactivated the pattern for now.

The Darjeeling Dress is a comfortable and pretty summer dress knit in soft, cooling bambooyarn. The silhuette is inspired by the feminine 1930s, and has split flutter-sleeves knit in a beautiful seedstitch, and a flattering v-neckline.

It is knit from the skirthem and up, with the sleeves knit on using intarsia.

NOTE ON AVAILABLE SIZES - if you want to knit this, or any of my patterns, in a larger size than I currently have published, please get in touch! The only reason it is not available in larger sizes is I couldn’t get testknitters for those sizes, and I don’t want anyone to pay for a pattern and knit a size thats not been tested. So if you would like to (test)knit this - or any of my patterns! - in a larger size than is currently available, drop me a message and I’ll send you the pattern for free!
