Pattern Construction

The dress is worked in one piece from the top down, with shaping at the waist and a flared skirt. The wrap panel is formed by working an extended front.

---

1. Bodice

1. Foundation: ch a multiple of 4 + 2, long enough to fit bust circumference ÷ 2 (since wrap will overlap).
   Example: Bust 90 cm → ch ~78 sts (test gauge).
2. Row 1 (setup): dc in 4th ch from hook, ch1, sk1, dc in next, rep to end, turn.
3. Row 2: ch3 (counts as dc), dc in ch-1 sp, ch1, sk next st, rep to end, dc in last st.
4. Rep Row 2 until bodice reaches ~20 cm or underarm length.

Shaping waist: On every 6th row, decrease 1 dc at each edge until waist is 4–6 cm smaller than bust.

---

2. Skirt

• From waist, work even in established pattern.
• Every 4th row: add [dc, ch1, dc] into one extra space to gradually increase flare.
• Continue until skirt reaches desired length (knee or mid-thigh).

---

3. Wrap & Button Band

• Extend Left Front Panel: Continue 10–15 extra stitches for wrap overlap.
• Add buttonholes: on every 8th row, [ch2, sk2] to form hole.
• Make 3–4 evenly spaced buttonholes.

---

4. Edging

• With contrast yarn (black), work sc evenly around neckline, armholes, front edges, and hem.
• Optionally add a second row of reverse sc (“crab stitch”) for a rope-like finish.

---

5. Assembly

• Seam shoulders and sides.
• Sew buttons opposite buttonholes.
• Block gently to measurements.

---

Customization Ideas

• Colors: Swap to pastels for a romantic look (lilac, peach, mint).
• Length: Add more rows for midi or maxi dress.
• Sleeves: Work separate rectangles and seam to armholes.
