After four versions, I'm happy with the pattern. The short lavender one is from a couple of years ago, knitted bottom up.

Notes

Althea talked me into setting aside my dislike of knitting with black yarn and making her a LBD. Once it was finished, she started talking accessories.

This could also be called Cap sleeved dress for tiny rag dolls #4. I wanted to do one more test myself before sending the pattern out to other testers. I love this version! I’m pleased in general with the pattern. I think it will be fun to add color work or other embellishment to as well.

With the addition of her new jacket and witch hat, Althea proves that a LBD can indeed be worn for virtually any occasion.
