Après un rêve
I dream of a better world, where we’d be able to walk about easily, thoughtlessly, in the heat…
« Après un rêve » symbolize this dream : a seamless bottom up top, downwardly flared, very light to wear especially during summertime. Sensai lace waving to the wind is knitted first, Kinu part in a second time, they will be connected together later. At the back & sleeves, little tie cords are worked in the cast on egdes, in continuity with the shirt sides, shaped with short rows, before being joined into the round, & going on with a nice cable which reminds the lacings.
Back & front are exactly symmetrical (except the back cable & its little cords).
These special constructions will give a pretty delicate and feminine effect, and its untied cords, a special freedom feeling to you…
