Savannah is a sleeveless, high-neck dress that features a geometric colorwork bodice that transitions into a simple Lattice Lace skirt, and finished with a Diamond Lace pattern. The construction is top-down, in the round, with Steeks for sleeve openings and back neck closure. Slight waist shaping is done by changing to a smaller needle size. Transitions between each lace section incorporate gradual increases that shape the skirt. The skirt length can be easily extended by working additional lace repeats.
