Bodice: Cast on 46 sts. k for a tiny bit, to mid-breast/armpits. k 12, cast-off 3, knit to end. p 12, cast-off 3, work front bodice up to neck, decreasing one st each edge every rs row until 12 sts remain. Work to neck. BO middle 2 sts. Decrease 2x more on every rs. until 4 sts each side. Work 4 rows even, BO. Work backs: bind off at armhole twice on every rs. Knit 6-7 rows, BO 3 at mid neck, work 1 row, BO 3 more, work 1 row, BO 4.

Doesn’t need the armhole decreases. :P Next, the ruffly skirt!

Picked up stitches and didn’t increase enough sts or soon enough. The way I should have done it: picked up sts, pfb in every st, then (kfb, k1) across and knit until desired length. I did the sleeves this way on 15 sts from mid-pit across the top to mid-pit, then worked 3 or 4 rows, I think. I sewed the edges of the sleeves down when I was done.

Snaps in the back (gonna have to sew them on again, they are already falling off, lol).
