Product Description
The design of this Long Time Dress is modern and the construction is simple. First we are working the top and then we will continue the dress with the skirt. For the top we will work the back panel and front panel separately and then sew the panels on sides. We will join the panel on the shoulders with collar. On the front panel we will let a space for the buttons line and then we will work it with the collar. Buttons line and collar are worked in one single piece. After finishing the top we will work the skirt in circular rounds following the same stitch pattern as for the top. Before starting the skirt, you can make one more round in double crochet to make some increases if you want your skirt to be wider than the rest of the top.
