Inspired by my love of Japanese culture and ballet-styled cardigans, this sweet little tunic/dress is a deceivingly simple knit. A seamless garment, knit in the round from the top down. Lengths are included for either tunic or dress. This westernised version of the kimono has a fake obi, crossover bodice (in the Western style), flared sleeves and a lovely elongated skirt. Sizes:
