I am doing the two circles at once so I don’t have a gauge issue… I have no idea what size this will turn out as I can’t find a gauge on the pattern for the first few rounds, only for the completed circles. By that time, it might be too late! I’m aiming for larger than it calls for. Bigger would be better than too small!

4.21.11 - After leaving this sit for a very long time, I’m finally back to it. The pattern requires a keen understanding of shaping and fit, and I got stuck. I finally figured it out mentally and it took many eons to actually pick it back up.

Now, I have assembled it and realize that by making the bodice larger it also makes the sleeves fatter, and it has 80’s poof to the sleeves. I’m hoping that blocking will take the worst of it out.
