The SAViLE dress is a classic yet sophisticated piece. My goal was an easy to wear garment to feel cosy and comfortable but also well dressed. So easy to dress up or down all year long.

The gray sample is from Rowan Softyak DK, a cotton blend that hold its shape beautifully.
The brown sample is from Rowan Kid classic, a woolen yarn, so comfy and warm

The SAVILE dress is worked seamlessly from the top down. Start working the back to the length of the armhole. Then pick up stitches for the shoulder to work both fronts symmetrically to the length of the V-neck. All pieces are then joined to work the body in the round with the build in pocket down to the bottom ribbing.
