RIBBED MINI DRESS

Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2007 #20
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick

What you don’t see is what you get with Patrick’s mini-dress: an invisible-decrease ribbing technique shapes the form-fitting skirt and buttons and raglan shaping create a faux placket. Pleated button sleeve cuffs complete the sophisticated look of the piece.
