This two-piece tennis dress has that clean, streamlined look that defined the 1930s, with a
quiet elegance that feels very much in the spirit of Greta Garbo’s influence on fashion at
the time. The silhouette is simple but refined, designed to move easily while still looking
polished.
It’s worked in Minerva Silver Crepe, a 5-ply sports weight yarn, using a range of needle
sizes to shape the fit. The skirt is knitted in the round on a circular needle, giving it that
smooth, uninterrupted line, and there’s a small amount of crochet used to finish the
details neatly.
The gauge is 6 stitches per inch, and the sizing corresponds to a vintage US 16–18, which
translates to approximately a 34–36 inch bust.
