Notes

The bodice turned out a bit small - the fabric only just barely meets in the back. I shouldn’t have gone down a needle size at the waist. The skirt portion is fine, though.

I didn’t bother with the single crochet around the neck and arms.

I knit it according to the pattern, but was strange construction - the skirt is knit flat in one piece, and then it’s split into 3 sections at the waist (front, left back, and right back). But then when it’s done, you seam the sides up to the armholes. I don’t really get why you wouldn’t just knit it in one piece to the armholes and avoid the side seams - you could just put in a marker to indicate where the increases are to be done.
