Notes

I loved knitting this dress and was ready to declare it finished almost a month ago. Three weeks ago DD #5 even wore it to Shul on Shabbos. But then I noticed that there was an unsightly fold in the top of the dress and the sleeves had a tendency to ride up when my energetic daughter run around and played. So after we got home and the Shabbos was over I carefully unpicked the stitches and started to experiment with different tops. I eliminated to original wide ribbing and finally left just the narrow strip of ribbing at the neck. I also used a much smaller needles - 3 sizes smaller to do the top from the raglan increases up.
