Glam Knit Reality: Lacy Dolman « »
This is the third in my little series of book vs reality photos, the Lacy Dolman sweater (rav link) from Glam Knits:
It’s lost a couple of buttons along the way, but you get the idea! This is yet another of the patterns that is designed to fit anyone. No shaping, simple knit rectangles sewn together with ribbing at the hem. Four-button closure just at the ribbing, designed to hit just at the underbust. The yarn is a gorgeous angora from Lorna’s Laces (see Rav link above for info) and is just like wearing a cloud. You could sub a mohair or suri alpaca for the angora, or even just use a “normal” yarn…the stitch work gives it enough of a punch on its own.
Here’s the back.
And…here’s what it looked like on the model in the book:
It’s hard to tell from her posture what the sleeves are like, and it looks kind of uncomfortable, really. The model is pretty, but she’s not showing the sweater very well.
Again, here’s the link…I love this sweater.

I love this little “series” that you are doing. I am sure all non-model women are appreciating it! Gorgeous sweaters!
This is such a great idea. It’s really wonderful to see these knits on a real person.
I love this one now that I saw it on you! I knew I liked it OK in the book but was unsure about what it would really look like. Off to add this one to my queue…my Glam Knits has been sadly underutilized. Unlike Fitted Knits, which I made about 2/3 of….
