Lace Dress features a beautiful lace skirt and waist ties that are tied at the back. The dress is worked using 1 strand of either Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk. The lace pattern is charted only.

The skirt is worked in the round from the bottom up to the waist. Here, a welt is first worked across the front yoke before two i-cord ties are worked in the extension of the welt. Afterwards, front and back yoke are finished separately back and forth in stockinette stitch. The back has a little slit/keyhole opening that closes with a button. I-cord edges finish the neckline and armhole edges.
