The cables run vertically and they are spaced apart rather than crowded together, which is unusual - most cable knits fill the whole surface. Here they sit as separate narrow columns with plain knitting between them.
That spacing lets the dress flare. Continuous cabling would hold a shape rigid, but plain panels between the columns can widen as they fall, so the body releases from the shoulder into a soft A-line without a seam or a dart anywhere. The neckline is a plain ribbed crew, and raglan seams carry cables of their own down each sleeve.
It is a knitted dress with an actual silhouette, which is harder to achieve than it sounds.
