This dress can be made with or without the beads. It is knitted top down to the waist and bottom up for the skirt and joined with a 3 needle bind off. The skirt is an easy lace pattern and can be a long skirt for the prom or a bridesmaid or a shorter skirt for an afternoon event.
Any lace with yarn should work. As always with these small dolls the finer yarns and needles are more in scale and make a better fit dress for them. It is knit flat and has a short skirt seam in the back.
If you use the beads you’ll need 14- 4mm beads or beads to scale.
