Up With the Birds - The Dream Dress - The Haute Couture One - 1 strand

Up With The Birds – The Dream Dress

Creative Collection · Level: Beginner plus

A long, feminine dress with a soft drape, lively colour stripes and an artistic look. Up With The Birds – The Dress is inspired by the freedom of nature, the movement of birds and the joy of making something completely your own with yarn.

The dress is knitted top-down with raglan in a single strand and is built up from subtle colour shifts that create depth, texture and movement. The mix of different yarn qualities gives the garment a light, lively look that makes every dress one of a kind.

This is a design that invites you to play with colours, textures and yarn combinations – without losing the harmony of the whole.

Creative. Light. Unforgettable.

Design philosophy

Up With The Birds is about the freedom to create. The quiet stripes, the different yarn qualities and the seamless construction let the materials tell their own story. No two dresses turn out the same – and that is exactly what makes the design special.

Creative Collection is a tribute to the joy of making, to experimenting and to craft. Every project is an invitation to explore new combinations and put your own mark on the finished garment.

Styling

Wear the dress with sandals on warm summer days, boots in autumn or a soft cardigan on cool evenings. The long silhouette and the subtle stripes make it easy to style both every day and for special occasions.
