nata dress is knitted top down. first, we knit the front yokes. the left front yoke is knitted first, and shaped by increases to the neck. the right front yoke is knitted in the same way, but mirrored. then these are joined, and stitches for the neck are cast on. then, we continue with increases for the armholes. next, the back pieces are knitted in the same way as the front pieces, but with no increases for the neck, only with increases for the armholes. now all the yoke pieces are joined, and this is done by adding stitches for the underarms as you knit. if you want a bra-friendly back, stitches for the back are cast on immediately, and if you want a low back, you knit flat until the back is low enough. then, knit the body with even increases on the sides until you reach your desired length. at the end of the body, knit a folded edge. the dress is finished by knitting double-knit edges along the back and neck, as well as the armholes.
