Paloma Dress and Romper Dress
The Paloma Dress and Romper Dress is a pinafore style dress that can be made as a dress or as a romper dress with an attached “bottom” under the skirt of the dress in the 3 smallest sizes. The dress has a simple eyelet pattern on the bib and on the skirt. The dress is worked top-down from the top edge of the bib. Along the way new sts are cast on for the back and increases are worked for the skirt. On the smallest sizes sts are picked up on the inside of the dress and the bottom is worked - with or without buttons between the legs. Lastly the straps are made.
