The Lotus dress is a size inclusive and made to measure pattern. This means you measure yourself and then follow the pattern instructions, this means it can be made for anyone.
The pattern can be worn both ways, with the ties at the front or at the back, therefore it is reversable.
The pattern uses US terminology and is only in English.
The pattern is an advanced beginner level; however, I have provided detailed steps, pictures throughout.
You will need any type of 4ply (fingering weight yarn) and a 3.5m crochet hook, you will also need some elastic (size between 2-8mm) which will be placed into the stitches at the waistline, this is optional, but it gives a better hold around your waistline. I used roughly 800m of yarn for the sample size XS (UK 6).
