This dress is certainly not challenging in its shaping as it really has none, nor challenging in the skills it requires, intarsia and stranded, once you have your color scheme chosen, it truly knits right along. However, it shouts determination to knit the amount of fabric needed for a knee-length dress. Knowing I would have a lovely classic in the end helped me to accomplish this beautiful look.
