Meisa Dress

The Meisa dress is a button-up design with a semi-fitted A-line silhouette and a U-neck. Constructed with vertical rows, the stitch pattern combines lace and ribbing to give the dress a delicate feel with some stretch for a flattering fit. Designed with positive ease in the waist and hips, and negative ease in the bust. Stretch is accounted for in the ribbing around the waist. Short rows are used to add fabric around the bust and hips.

The back panel is made first, followed by the front left panel and front right panel. The shoulders are seamed and the edges are finished with a scalloped hem.

NOTE: This is not a straightforward pattern and is recommended for intermediate crocheters. If you read the instructions carefully without skipping any of the "Introduction", you'll be best equipped to understand and use this pattern.
