Mother and daughter combo - lacy top for mom and matching dress for daughter.

SRK 111 Kid’s Dress Mom’s Top
Sandi Prosser for Kertzer c.2007

Breezy little pieces, light and comfortable and very pretty. The dress is a classic for little girls, with its empire waist, built-in eyelets for ribbon, and dainty little crochet picot edging. Back yoke is split and buttoned shut; buttonbands are crocheted. For the grown-up lady, the effect is just as winsome; but starting the lace above the bosom adds considerably more adult interest. The picot crochet edge is the same for both pieces (American terminology). Armholes are nicely curved on both.
