LunchatTiffanysdress is a shaped dress with a wrap look. It is knitted seamlessly top down in double rib pattern, with offset details in single rib pattern. The fit can be adjusted individually by cross sizing, please read the size guide carefully. The wrap look of the top is also picked up in the skirt, which ends in a slightly sideways slit in the front. The slit length as well as the length can be adjusted individually to personal taste.
This pattern also includes the appropriate modification to work a LunchatTiffanysblouse. At first the blouse is worked identically to the dress.
Additionally, there is also the possibility to decide between 3 sleeve solutions. Described are a long sleeve - once with single rib finish, once throughout in double rib pattern, a short sleeve and a sleeveless solution.
This dress is a real all-rounder and with the right combination it can be styled for almost any occasion.

Size guide
 
The dress should be knitted with a negative ease of around 10 cm. The sizes are matching with a bust circumference of 75 (80) 85 (90) 95 (100) 105 (110) cm.
If you are between two sizes with your body measurement, I would always advise to choose the smaller one! If your bust circumference measures 93 cm, I would still recommend choosing size S though this size ‘only’ measures 80 cm.
The pattern includes a size chart, where you can find the recommended bust, waist and hip circumferences for every size to have an orientation on which size you need to choose. Of course, it’s possible that your body measurements don’t go along with just one size. In this case you should go for a cross size (for example bust and waist circumference = size S and hip circumference = size M). You can easily adapt the pattern on your individual size.
