Used 3.25mm for the faux belt section - wish I’d used it for the ruffle as well as the stitches look a bit big. Hopefully it might look better after a wash.

The ruffle took as long as the body (a whole afternoon/evening) partially because I had to keep tinking stitches when my attention wandered, which it does all the time with 2 kids around the place! Had the ruffle not felt quite so laborious, I’d have been tempted to cast another on immediately after finishing this but as it is, I’ll wait a little while :)

Despite that it’s a great pattern with enough variations and sizes to make it a new staple!
