Bold and beautiful, this knit dress is timelessly styled to look great season after season. Stitched in Patons Canadiana, the intarsia technique is used to create the big black and white checks that make up the fabric. A V-neck edge uses opposing colors of background checks, while 2 x 2 ribbing forms edges for the armholes. Accent your look with equally bold accessories of color or let the dress stand alone for impact. It’s a distinctive addition to any wardrobe.
