Emporio Armani A-line cabled(?) minidress

Attention All Knitting Pattern Designers: I have seen the future. It is this dress:

Emporio Armani Fall 2009 RTW

It’s from the Emporio Armani Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear collection and I want it.  I want it bad.  That being said, I’m not sure how to construct the damn thing.  Lookie here at this close up of Anna Arendshorst modeling it:

I thought those swirly things were cables, but apparently they’re braided bands of 1×1 ribbing that are somehow sewn together, with triangles of plain knit fabric filling out the body.

Hot damn.  I still want one.  I’d knit one long enough to wear in public, or I’d knit a short one like this and wear it with pants.  I wonder if it has sleeves or straps, and what they look like.   Regardless, I would totally wear the F out of that dress.

Oh, dress.  You are so dead sexy.  Be mine.

In other, knitting-centric news, I plan to cast on a Liesel bolero later today, in the misguided hopes of finishing it in time for the Lamb’s christening on Sunday.   (I have a wearable dress for the occasion, but nothing seasonally-appropriate to wear over it.)
