The original could be a fancy dress western outfit but as I was making this for the donation it seemed more practical to move it towards a princess dress. Adding the sleeves and collar didn't seem like it would improve the dress and I really liked the look of the dress as I finished it. I mention the rest in case anyone decides to hunt down the pattern and realizes the picture of the finished item is different than what I decided to make.
Notes:
I'm really working with new thread sizes this year. I thought introducing size 20 and 3 was bold but this year it looks like I'm moving into size 5 and eventually 8.
This was made with Creative Yarn Source Omega Yarn Light Blue and White. I've been starting to research my options for where to buy my multiple sizes of threads looking at color options and price.
Note to myself for future projects I needed 3 light blue Omegas to make this outift. It is a heavy dress. The white trim requires a minimal amount of white. If I added the sleeves I might have finished the 3rd cone of light blue.
I used a size C hook for the blue and a 1.8mm hook for the white trim. A reminder for future projects don't forget to switch back to C hook after finishing section of white trim. Also don't switch from triple to dc.
I decreased around the top for a better fit as it was too big. I didn't finish under the arms or it would have been too tight.
