Novita Essentials: Bette Knitted Dress

This beautiful dress works both as an everyday garment and as part of your festive outfit, depending on what you wear with it! The Bette dress features darted waist shaping and is knitted seamlessly from the top down using the Novita Sointu yarn, which means it’s easy to adjust the length to be just right for you. The front and back of the garment are slightly different. See also the shorter top version, knitted from the subtly glimmering Novita Valo yarn.
