I have discovered the pleasure of knitting dress bodices and then whipping up a simple gathered skirt to make A4's summer wardrobe. The pleasure of knitting, but oh so quick and the chance to use yummy fabric without having the spectre of failed pattern piecing looming over one's head.
Bodice is called Summerlin and shrug is Jane Austen Shrug
Ginger Blossom skirt with stella bamboo in lemon/lime and cleakheaton bamboo in aqua for the bodice and shrug.
Bodice in teal cotton and skirt from $2 rack at Spotlight
Bodice is chocolate brown cotton Pride and Prejudice from Mason Dixon Knitting Off the Edge and skirt is more $2 fabric from Spotlight.

Hey Karen!
I am attempting two of these little darlings for my friends kids (since it wouldn't look quite right on the boys. Am making the apron top version, i noted you've done a halter neck rather than the straps....how did you find that worked? Will post photos when I finally get them done...hehe yay for having Ken home soon, i might actually make some progress!
