For the rest of the product, select the composition of the threads at your discretion. Of course, when knitting, you can use threads of the same composition and color.

Everything will depend on your imagination.
When knitting, the product can be knitted both from above and from below, as required by the style. Often there are both directions in one product. In this case, knitting starts at the waist level in both directions. At the same time, the line of the set of loops must be decorated in some way. The lower edge of the finished product knitted with needles can be crocheted to prevent it from stretching during wear.
Thus, you should not think that a sundress can only be sewn. Such a knitted product can be the pride of any fashionista!
