The garment is worked in stockinette stitch from top to bottom, and short rows are worked in the neck. There are increases to the shoulders (saddle shoulders) and down the sleeves. The dress/sweater is suitably loose-fitting and elegant with seamless details - a sure classic in your wardrobe! **Techniques used in the pattern:** Italian cast-on followed by double stockinette stitch at the collar, and double stockinette stitch followed by Italian cast-off at the ribbed edges of the sleeves and dress/sweater. Increases are worked at the yoke both from the right side and the wrong side, which leans towards right and left, respectively. Down the sleeves there are decreases to the right and left. If you are unsure about the techniques used, there are good videos to look up online. The sizes are calculated based on a positive ease of approximately 25 cm, which you add to your own chest measurement. The pattern follows body measurements of: 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) cm. **Example**: If your bust measures 93 cm, add 25 cm = 118 cm. This is equivalent to a size M, which will give you a positive ease of 26 cm. The model in the picture measures 169 cm and have a bust measurement of 83 cm (28 cm positive ease according to body measurement) and is wearing a size XS with a dress length of 122 cm measured mid back.
