Where This Dress Goes Wrong In Production
An A-line lives or dies on the hip position - check the flare start on a live fit model and grade it per size.
Hem sweep must be even all round; hang the dress before marking the hem.
Knit panels relax after hanging - hang the dress overnight before hemming so the length stays true.

Build the capsule around this A-line shape with a coordinating jacket, cardigan or knit top in the same sweater knit for a complete story.
