A statement piece most will envy you for.
Comfortable glamour. What could be better?

Construction
Worked from the top down with increases along the shoulder line. You will work short rows to shape the neckline. After completing the increases, the front and back are worked separately. Before adding the sequin yarn and larger needles, stitches are set aside at each edge for the armhole openings. The skirt is worked with drop stitches. The sleeve edges are worked separately at last.

Size guide
This garment is designed with a very generous ease. It comes in two sizes only, as the ease is ample regardless, and detailed tailoring for each size is not necessary. Size 1 is estimated to fit XS–L, and Size 2 fits L–XXXL. If you have broad shoulders, the larger size may drape more elegantly.

Yarn
A lightweight yarn was chosen as the main yarn, as it is suitable for both dense and airy textures (Alpakka Lin). The sequin yarn features large sequins and a sturdy thread that creates a beautiful contrast and interplay with the main color. It is thicker than most sequin yarns around.
