Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I started knitting shoulders & neckline of this dress using the “feather dress” pattern from “Modern Top-down Knitting” by Kristina McGowan.

I probably knitted enough to make two dresses, considering how many times I re-did every part of the dress. CREATING A PATTERN IS NOT EASY. At least I learned that…my confession about its construction and more here: http://handmadeinstyle.blogspot.com/2013/02/top-down-knitting-green-dress.html
