My favorite Parisian mercerie was closed during the last few days in July, so I had to make this dresses (styled after Suzanne from Citronille) without a pattern.  I would count these a success: yay for me.

Obviously, the sleeves are a bit too long now, but the rest of the sweater works!  The yarn has unfortunately gotten extremely pilled, but I worked it over with a sweater stone pretty obsessively and it's slightly improved.  I am learning that the extremely soft and comfy yarns I love don't wear well over time, unfortunately.
