Notes

Test knit for Valerie :)
LOVE this design to pieces!
Comfortable and useful, with wonderful pockets for little finders but still so girly and elegant :)

Decided to knit the bodice with thicker yarn (though at correct gauge) to get more stiff fabric and prevent it from growing too much in blocking
Rios worked just perfectly against skirt made with Arroyo :)

Used 193.2 yds for the bodice and 452.3 yds for skirt, that means 645.5 yds total.

Length: 19.5” (50 cm) from the underarm to BO edge.

My only modifications was adding an 1.5” piece to the back right strap to get the button closure at my daughter’s request.
