PATTERN | TILDA SLEEVELESS DRESS

TILDA is a versatile sleeveless dress with a V-neck. It is worked in stockinette stitch, seamlessly in rounds from bottom to top. Once you reach the armholes, front and back are worked flat separately. The shoulders are shaped with short rows and front and back grafted together with the Kitchener stitch. Neckline and armholes are finished with a small ribbing. TILDA can be worn during the summer, but it can also be perfectly combined with long sleeved shirts during the colder seasons.

The sizes correspond to bust circumference as follows: XS (S; M; L; XL; XXL) = 29 (32; 35; 39; 42; 47; 52)” / 74 (82; 90; 98; 107; 119) cm) and to the hip circumference of 34.6 (36.6; 39; 41.3; 44; 48)” / 88 (93; 99; 105; 112; 122) cm (measured at the body).

TILDA is a form-fitting dress that should be worn with little positive ease. Example: If your bust circumference is 35” (90 cm) and your hip circumference is 39” (99 cm), then knit it in size M to achieve a little positive ease.
