How are you attaching the neckband @justsewit ?
Sewing machine or overlocker/coverstitch?
I am like some weird evangelist when it comes to knit fabric, I want the world to share the love! 🙂
Happy to help if there’s any way I can.

@hazel hello, the short answer is B cup. The longer, and very well written answer is in this blog post:

finding your correct pattern size

It details how to find the right size for your shoulders, and then adjust the bust accordingly.
Hope that helps.

Thanks @cybele727 I went on a mad monochrome cutting spree. Butterick skirt and top for me, play date dress, jump rope dress and swingset skirt and top for my daughter.

Oh, and yes, you will need your pleat markings on the right side of the dress, otherwise they’re lost under the facing when it comes time to make the pleats.

@cellisttoo I’ve made one with a bias bound facing and it works fine. There’s a picture of the insides on this blog post if it helps: http://bartacksandsingletrack.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/first-birthdays.html?m=0
You’re right, both the dress and the facing get pleated together. I didn’t find the bias binding caused a problem but mine was a cotton…[Read more]
