Limoncello Dress (EN)
The LIMONCELLO DRESS is a flowy summer dress with an open back and triangle cups.
The dress is worked from the top down. The cups are worked separately, flat in stockinette stitch, while increasing to shape the cups. The cups are then joined by casting on stitches for the back. A folded casing is worked for an elastic band, after which the dress is worked in the round to the desired length- either mini, midi or maxi length.
The dress is finished with applied i-cord edging around the cups and i-cord straps.
Difficulty: 2 out of 3
Size: 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6)
To fit bust circumference: 75–85 (85–95) 95–105 (105–115) 115–125 (125–135) cm.
The elasticated underbust means the dress does not have a fixed finished circumference. Choose your size based on your full bust measurement.
