The Margherita dress is our Christmas dress for 2020. The dress's lace pattern has given the dress its name, as the five-year-old girl in the house could only see pizzas where the rest of us saw small flowers. Regardless of what you see, the dress is knitted in a simple lace pattern. The dress is knitted from the top down, with raglan increases. The dress features ribbed edges that contrast with the wide skirt and the feminine lace pattern. The skirt can therefore be worn both for everyday and festive occasions. The dress has a slit at the back of the neck that closes with a button. The sleeves are 3/4 length but can be knitted longer if desired by repeating the pattern.
