I have a bunch of Madelinetosh Merino light yarn mini skeins and I love stripe projects. So the Elyssa dress was born.

A simple, classic design, so all you have to do is add your imagination.

Elyssa is a top down design, with a full skirt, and cap sleeves, which can be lengthen.

The button band looks good either worn in the front or back.

In the dress pictured, I did not use more than 20 yards in any of the stripes.
