Summer Dress

Whew - I finally finished the summer dress I was working on for my daughter. It took me a little longer than I expected, but I made it by my self-imposed Father's Day deadline.

Her dad loves her in dresses, so it was extra special that she debuted this little number today. It is made with 9 skeins of Wildflower DK which I picked up for 50% off on close-out for $2.25 a skein. Somehow I still ended up running a little short so I left the sleeves off. Please excuse the state of her hair - she wanted pig-tails but her hair is a bit short, so it looks a little Einsteinesque.


She picked out the navy blue star-shaped buttons at the shoulders and I think it completes the dress nicely!
