I have wanted to make Khloe a spring dress for a while, now, so I just plunged in and started.  I decided to write the pattern as I went, because I knew it would be very cute on smaller sizes, as well, and she is a 3T, so I began with that and worked my way backward.  I hope to have the pattern open for testers next week.
It has a fitted bodice, that is meant to fit close to the body.  Then a little texture in the waist, followed by a flared out skirt, and a ruffled hem.
The string straps allow it to be adjustable, and are also very easy to make!  The buttons in the back allow for easier dressing, going over the head.
I also like that she can wear it now, with a long sleeved shirt underneath, but in the spring, she can wear it alone, or over shorts.
This particular one, alas, was too short.  I ran out of colorway (Creatively Ewe's Chocolate Covered Strawberries), so I ended it at "tunic" length, and listed it for sale on Crunchy Congo.  But now I know how much yarn I need, and I have already begun Khloe's Tunic number 2!

That is fantastic. I'd be glad to help you test the pattern if you need anyone... :)
