Since knitdresses are in fashion and nice and warm: I decided I just had to have one. Bought myself a nice purple knit-fabric and chose this elegant asymmetric (its just my assymetric year, I guess) pattern. Still figuring out what to wear underneath though…

Very beautiful! As for what to wear underneath, I would suggest either a nice slip or spanx to make sure the dress is as becoming as possible. If you are concerned about having something on your arms maybe a jacket or a shawl much like the one burdastyle released today. This dress is very well made and you can really tell you enjoyed making it. Well done!

Beautiful dress. Either tights and a longsleeve shirt like erdronen or nothing (other than underwear, of course) :)
