Finally, I finished it!!!!
I saw this dress online a long time ago and just "fell in love" with it... I kept thinking about whom to knit it for......
I knitted it for my friend's granddaughter - little Milana. She is 2.5 years old (I recently showed sweaters for her).
I knitted it from "Narcissus" yarn - 100% mercerized cotton, 395 m in 100g, 2 mm needles.
I got out of practice knitting with such thin needles, and making a large item (i.e., not just socks and mittens, and not even toys...), so I really struggled and I think I won't pick up such needles for a long time now....
I was guided by the Duchess's description, but
I had to recalculate everything for myself, as I didn't fit the size, although the children are of the same age and judging by her photos the girls are of similar build, but I have my doubts that she knitted the top of the dress with two strands, while I used one.... I made the sleeves my own way, I also found suitable frills for the sleeves and collar online. The Duchess doesn't have a button placket on the back, but I decided to make one... there's no ribbing, and the transition line from the front to the frills and collar is also a bit different for me...... in general, what turned out, turned out...
I embroidered the small details with embroidery floss (a friend does embroidery and shared ...))) The skirt consists of three layers, and each layer is done with its own pattern. The base of the skirt is knitted with two strands in stockinette stitch to avoid stretching. The lower frill
The middle frill


The landscape has a green background and blue (the river and clouds) are knitted, while everything else is embroidered. I knitted the sleeves by eye and without any rules - I just googled - lantern sleeve pattern and intuitively (I didn't even make a full-size pattern - just looked at the shape) I made decreases so that the sleeve cap was wider than the armhole - then, as in sewing, I gathered it with a needle and thread and attached it with a hook to the armhole. I generally don't sew any knitted items; I join them with a hook.
The sleeve is knitted in a regular rib pattern (1 knit, 1 purl, in the reverse row purl over knit stitches and knit over purl stitches. First, I determined the width - i.e., I estimated by eye to make the width not exactly according to the arm's volume, but loosely, and cast on stitches for the trim twice the required width. Then I knitted the trim and knitted a row of two stitches together (i.e., I halved the number of stitches). Then 4 rows of garter stitch, one row for holes - (knit two together, yarn over - repeat to the end of the row), then another 4 rows of garter stitch and in the next row I doubled the number of stitches (knitted 1 knit and one from the yarn over twisted knit), and then I started to knit in rib pattern. The cord is twisted from the same yarn. I found the trim for the sleeves and neckline online - here is the scheme
