Dayflower Camisole or Dress

This empire-waisted camisole, almost entirely worked in the round, is easily lengthened to a dress. It showcases the “Dayflower” lace pattern from Barbara Walkers 2nd Treasury of Knitting Patterns. The bust is fitted, with a twisted cord tie accent, and the Dayflower lace straps provide the finishing touch.
