SFOGLIATINE Bell-Shaped Asymmetric Light Dress Pattern by Tibisay: A Versatile Summer and Winter Knitting Project

A bell-shaped and asymmetric light dress, perfect to be worn alone during the hottest Summer days; if realized with a warmer yarn it will be possible to wear it under a Winter cardigan without the hindrance of the sleeves. The stripe motif on the yoke and on the bottom gives movement and makes the dress perfect for young and less young, for thin and "differently" thin people!
