I was experimenting with a pleating technique I had come up with and wanted to use it to shape this simple dress. My daughter wore this dress quite a few times.

Yes, you could easily do so. You'd need to get your "across back" measurement and make the foundation chain of both the front and back pieces of the dress equal to 3 times the "across back" measurement. Then you'd simply work the pieces to your desired length from underam to hem. Then you'd pleat the tops as directed in the pattern and make the straps to your desired length.

Thanks Lisa. I hope you are having fun loading your projects. So wonderful to have you here. I will buy pattern(s) each month. Oh I do want the baby boots that are like the ones I bought in adult size. Is the child pattern included? Just hoping.....
