Magic Dress is a comfy, attractive and beautiful outfit.
Semi-circle skirt worked in a lace stitch pattern, lace shoulder lines, boat neckline, slim waist silhouette, delicate bow and especially buttons on the back create romantic, sweet and airy look.

The dress is worked flat in Stockinette stitch from the top to the waistline and then in the lace stitch pattern in the round. Seamless set-in sleeves are worked simultaneously with the top in modified contiguous set-in sleeve technique. Once the body is done, stitches for the sleeves are then picked up and the sleeves are worked in rounds to the wrist.

The pattern includes charts for the skirt.
