Yuka was a Japanese student at U of U and my mom was her cultural mentor.  Yuka was very kind in helping me get through my first day of pattern drafting and I helped her sew this dress.

Knit Placket Dress

Book:  New York Style Baby

Size:  2-3

Fabric:  Knit interlock print

Other notes:  The pattern actually calls for a woven, in fact they have it photographed in a Liberty print,  I just used what I had on hand because I wasn't sure how it was going to fit.  The fit is great.  I especially love the inverted pleat at the back yoke.  There are two variations of this dress, one with a rounded collar and one with a pointed collar.  Instead of buttons I saved time with matching metal snaps and also made some matching teal knit shorts to go under the dress.  It is sized only for 2-3.
