I had planned to have K set the extra smaller paisleys wherever she wanted them and couche them in place, but once the bodice was done, I liked it plain, and so did K to my huge surprise.
She did want some flowers on the shoulders, which looked a little small once the ribbing was added to the neck and shoulders, so I added an extra set of petals to make them in proportion.
After she wore it to Sunday School the first time, the shoulders stretched out and kept falling off, so I added another few rounds of deep red to the inside of the neckline, which made all the difference. As she grows, I may need to remove them so the neckline is bigger.
I guess K and I can collaborate – what a wonderful thing to find out.
