Construction: The Sugar Dress is worked seamlessly from the top down. The upper section is worked back and forth, with increases shaping the neckline and upper body, followed by an even waist section. Paired increases are then worked at each side of the skirt to create a subtle A-line silhouette. The dress is finished with a scalloped bind-off edge, and the straps are worked separately from picked up stitches along the cast-on edge before being secured in place.
