It still needs to be blocked and buttons
I used a decreasing pattern for the skirt but it was too short for what i wanted so i actually extended it, and extended the in-between pattern that stayed regular before starting to decrease as well, i am supper happy to say my math mathed and everything aligned even if I could have survived being off by a row or two
is it perfect? No. Is it finished? Yes. Am I happy with it? Also yes
I never looked up any instructions for shaping knitting aside from my general knowledge of how to increase and decrease the amounts of stiches so very pleased with the results! In a way i felt like I was possessed making this dress, the top especially, i had no idea what it would look like finished š maybe a more open neckline would have been nice but the dress is so heavy I would have worried about it slipping off...
Also happy to have won yarn chiken as I started with a ball bigger them l could grasp in one hand and ended with this:
