There’s nothing better than a knitted dress – except a knitted dress with pockets.

Ilo is an oversized, super relaxed dress with loose sleeves and proper pockets. The dress is worked seamlessly top-down. The design has long raglan sleeves, a deep V-neck and A-line shape for the body. The pockets are worked last, attaching them seamlessly to the body.
