Tutorial: Knit dress with a 1940s inspired keyhole neck

I am a sucker for clothes with vintage details – an interesting neckline or beautiful construction details. Jess from The Sewing Rabbit shows how you can make an easy knit dress with a 1940s inspired keyhole neck. It gives the best of both worlds – modern style and easy construction, but with a vintage detail that sets it apart. You’ll need a basic knit bodice pattern, which she shows how to adapt to make it into the dress.
