The "photograph" picture of it isn't all that thrilling, the necklace makes it look like there are buttons. Lekala has a photo contest of sorts so a lot of patterns have a link for finished garments. I liked the way this looked finished so I thought I'd download it.
First I save the pictures, then I save the pattern, then the instructions. They open in Russian and Google offers to translate it. They title each outfit and this one is called...
I wish I was kidding...

5854 Knitted dress with a smell
(Makes you wonder where they shop for fabric, eh?)
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SELECTION OF FABRICS: jersey medium or low degree of elasticity of natural or mixed fibers .
AND YOU NEED: rubber band
Make sure you don't forget that rubber band. At least the fabric recommendation makes sense.
I'm pretty sure rubber band would actually translate to elastic, but dress with a smell? Is it possible they mean shell? Or are they telling you that you need petroleum-based fabric to make it -- ok, I'm reaching here but come on.....
ReplyDeletelol... yeah, most of the translations are like elastic band, after you read it a few times, you get what they were going for. I have no way to explain a dress with a smell. It must be that the Russian word for smell has multiple meanings, like... wake. You can wake up or go to a wake or the wake behind a boat... they just picked the wrong "smell".
ReplyDeleteMay I ask what the word is? I can try to tap into my past as a speaker of Russian. Never heard of this company, but the dress is gorgeous. Stop distracting me & my lengthy to-sew list :)
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome if you could shed a little light on how they end up with a "dress with a smell".

The way it is set up it is hard to link direct to a pattern, 5854 is about half way down the page http://leko-mail.net/mod-e.php?t=0&a=1&n=6
Is Lekala lovely? I was a bit overwhelmed the first time I found them. It looks like they put up a couple more new ones since last week.
