Notes

Testing this dress for rililie :).

Started on our traditional summer trip - every year we’re sailing with life-boats. Lots of fun, sun, fresh air, good company, wine - you name the reason why I missed a line in the pattern and had to rip back almost 8 cm :)

Progress photo with sleeves added. Love how it’s turning out! (BTW, colours somehow turned out completely wrong, true colours in yarn picture)

total weight - 288 g. According calculations, less than 5 skeins of MC were used - I guess one skein was a bit smaller, because I’ve actually used 5 skeins and 8 g from the 6th for the last two rows and BO.

And again I had to bribe my eldest DD to take some photos :))))….
Nice dress, love the tailoring and the details - and the nice feeling of cotton
