Why you'll love this pattern
The Impact Dress puts your personal fit front and center. Instead of being tied to fixed standard sizes, you work from your own measurements and can make the dress exactly as fitted or as relaxed as you like.
The dress is worked top-down as a front and a back piece. Decreases shape the waist, increases make room at the hips, and the skirt length is entirely up to you. Once both pieces are joined, carefully worked edges at the neckline and leg slits finish the design.

- Crocheters with solid basics who want to take on a well-explained intermediate project
- Anyone who would rather make a dress to their own measurements than to a standard size
- Summer, vacations, garden parties, dinners, beach days and special occasions
- Custom garments with a choice of neckline, adjustable length and leg slits
- A special creative gift for an experienced crochet friend
