In February, there’s still a bit of chill to the winter air, but spirits are improving and there’s hope of the weather warming. This dress will carry you through to the next season. Knit in the round from the bottom up, the bottom half of the dress is fitted and ribbed for an ultra flattering look. At the waist, the draping effect begins with an expanded batwing sleeve and lace reminiscent of hearts.
