| Sweater Dress Reviewed by karen szewczuk on 2010-03-03 |
 |
| THIS dress is beautiful so i spent the 200.00+ and made it ...if you do decide to make it email lion brand for corrections ...there are some...also i went by the bust size and decided to make a large, mistake...it is way too large(WHY WOULD A PERSON WITH A 41 INCH BUST NEED A SWEATER THAT ENDS UP MEASURING 50 INCHES?, I FOLLOWED THIER JUDGEMENT AND BOY WAS IT WRONG)...and ITS too long ...the measurements do come out as specified...and i did not measure from my neck to my knee so my dress turned out three inches too long...make sure you measure neck to top of your knee then select proper size OR MAKE PROPER ADJUSTMENTS when knitting (i.e. knit it three inches shorter)...this project also uses more yarn than specified so order at least 3 more ...ill try to put pics up later i am now in the process of deciding to redo the whole thing, NIGHTMARE...i like it that much or i may just knit a super thin matching belt that triples around the waist with matching pom poms off to the left and wear this with wide bottom jeans and original kork ease sandals from sundance catalog in natural........
