Oh, what fun I'm having! I've been working on this adorable dress for a few weeks now, having to squeeze it in between work and life. But it's halfway finished and I couldn't wait to share it with you! I may have to hand-dye it because there's just a LITTLE variation in the pink on the bodice, although I purchased all the yarn at the same time.
I've got to make about 6 more rows of ruffles, then decide whether or not I need to dye the dress. Finally, I'll add trim and go looking for some really fancy buttons. Voilà!

Can you believe it! I finished the dress last night. :-) I was even lucky enough to find the exact color of yarn ( yeah, I ran out and had to run to purchase more) to finish the last ruffle. Now, I've got to make a decision. The bodice is just a slight shade lighter than the rest of the dress due to a variation in the yarn, so I may hand dye the entire dress to get a uniform color. Afterwards, I need to crochet white trim around each ruffle, sew on the buttons and starch lightly so the ruffles will stand out a little. I just love this dress and now I want to make one in white. Well, not right away! Size: toddler 1/2
