I had a request for a dress similar to the one below, except using the colour "violet’.
I chose to use “Cherished Lavender” with “Aran” for the skit.
Because the dress is for a little girl named Violet, I added a violet flower to the skirt (just tied on so it can be easily removed) and I made a bonus headband with three violets on it.

Yarn: I used a full ball (205 yds) for the skirt & headband) and over half a ball for the bodice part.
I also used a tad of leftover purple yarn (for the one flower) and some Canadiana’s “Med. Grey Mix” for the leaves and bodice row.
