With its round yoke, A-line shape, and wide, ¾ length sleeves, this is a beautiful 3-season dress that will look good by itself or layered over leggings and a long sleeved top. The yarn provides wonderful drape and shows off the cables, which start out smaller at the neck then grow in width and length to compliment the dress’s shape. Dress it up with an over-sized cowl or your favourite jewellery, you’ll want to wear this dress time and time again!
