We start knitting the dress with the lace fabric of the skirt. We knit with motifs according to the pattern. We assemble the canvas in a circle in the required size. We take into account the volume of the hips and the length of the product. We continue knitting the skirt with a ribbon according to the pattern.

In the last row we join the ribbon of large motifs. We knit stitches with different numbers of crochets and align the fabric.

The line connecting the stripes is decorated with a small frill from a chain of air loops with picot./ 3 ch, picot, 3 ch, sc. attach to the canvas./

Align the ribbon of round motifs using posts.

We continue knitting, connecting ribbons from the main motifs.

We impose motifs for the shelf and back. The assembly and arrangement of the motifs depends on the size.

We connect the front and back with a common ribbon and knit decorative frills. A stripe of main motifs forms the dropped shoulder and side of the dress.

We align the round motifs with columns and knit the sleeve ribbon in a circle. A strip of small motifs completes the sleeve trim.

We connect the skirt with the top and decorate it with a frill. The lining of the dress - stretch viscose - is sewn to the neckline and fixed at the waist. Knitted dress and lining without zipper. The weight of the finished product is 770g.
