Getting setup with your measurements & gauge to knit a dress // MELIDES Dress Vlog #1 // Goodknits

After a year of dreaming of this knitted dress I'm finally ready to cast on the MELIDES Dress by Vert Knit. I'll be documenting my process as I go so you can see what's involved in making this beautiful and highly detailed pattern.
In this Vlog I'll take you through the measurement process, how to find your 'Tailoring Factor' and all my struggles with achieving gauge.

    Love to see your tought process! I personally would go with the 3,5mm because in my mind, the gravity will pull the dress down when you are wearing it and make the stitches more close together. Idk if this is making sense, but this is my exoerience with silk or fibers such and viscose

    Yeah I totally see your point here. I’m going to try with 3.25 as Inês mentioned here stitch gauge actually stretched out after knitting so she thinks it will be okay

    well maybe I've done all the hard swatching work for you already! 😉 Once you get that and the cast on it's actually knitting up pretty quick
