And the back, closed with one pearl button
These photos show the dress immediately after weaving in loose ends and adding the button. I didn't think to photograph again before packaging it for gift giving.
The dress pattern is called Clara dress and is only available from the designer as a kit. Here is that link. Many of us in a knitting group have made it from other yarns purchased locally that do not require hand washing or are more hypoallergenic than alpaca yarn.
The yarn I used is Pediboo by Frog Tree. It is 80% washable Merino, 20% bamboo. This is a sock weight yarn. The color number is 1123. I will definitely make this again, and I am not one who often wants to knit the same item with the same type of yarn. Pediboo is great to work with and I love the way the yarn looks and feels.

So cute! Would a baby wear a long sleeve top underneath it? I can just see one of my nieces, who happens to be named Clara, wearing something like that, when she was little.
