Skipper Bella Dress
I took the lessons I learned from making Barbie's version of this dress into making Skipper's dress.
Notes:
This was made using a Mel Garcia Tello pattern I purchased here.
This time I waited until I had the Knit Picks Pallete yarn in both colors to complete the outfit. While I was able to complete Barbie's outfit with yarn on hand having the same fiber made for a better fit.
I did read my notes on the Barbie outfit before starting so I used a C hook for the whole outfit. I need to try this on Barbie to see if it fits as well as I expect it will when I make this for next year.
I also followed my note about waiting to add snap until contrast yarn was added to the bodice. I also waited to finish the back until adding the contrast. When both were completed I added the closing snap.
Note to self I need to order more mini buttons. This was my last yellow one.
Adorable little outfit! I love the contrast. Another fab make! :) #MMBC
