On the other hand, I think I can call myself a Knitter.

Behold, the Grandbebe Girl in all her Gloriousness. (No comments, please, other than to agree with this!) Also, she is wearing Miss Muffett in Blue, knitted with all sorts of love by her Grandmama. Also knitted with too small of a neck for the family of giant noggins, which would be our family.
See how humble? The dress would not go over the head. Not no way. Not no how.

(On the other hand, maybe a Knitter would have remembered she always knits hats larger than large for this family of the large craniums.)
I put down the dress, and Youngest Daughter, Grandbebe Girl, and I took a walk in the back yard, chatted a bit, checked out the flowers, the veggies, and such. (Oh, my mind was really into the conversation, let me tell you...)
Then I went to the sewing machine. (See, I am a Sewer, too!) I stitched with eentsy tee tiny stitches down the center back, and up about an inch.
Then I cut my knitting. (Apparently I am a Cutter, too.)

Yes, I did. I cut my knitting.
Miss Muffett then slid over Grandbebe Girl's head smoothly, and fit the rest of her perfectly. I will finish the cut edge....somehow...as appropriate for a Knitter to know to do. I am seriously at the point that if it all comes apart, I will use my extra yarn and reknit the bodice. Seriously. I will hunt down additional yarn if necessary.

I promised the newly and differently finished garment to Youngest Daughter later, and elicited a promise that it be worn at least four times. I think it will hold together that long. And I will feel my effort somehow justified.

The work is beautiful as is the child. Have you thought of a little blue zipper in the back? Just a thought. Love, WS
Yes, indeed, you are a KNITTER! Sweet dress on a beautiful little one.
I don't know which is more beautiful, the bebe or the dress! My suggestion, now that you have cut it, it to tack down the split and make a crochet thread buttonhole and a pale blue pearl button. Beautiful photography as well!
ah... lovely! She looks so angelic and you caught her in the sweetest poses. The dress looks wonderful on her. I'm sorry you had to get a little creative in order to get it over her head, but it sounds like you came up with a good solution.
Beautifully done!
Just had to take another look.
That dress is just gorgeous. You did a wonderful job. And the color is perfect.
She looks so cute in it!!
Well rescued! And how brave of you to cut your hard work up! I think I would have cried, and then done the same as you *lol* She looks very cute! :-)
Thank you for the dress grandmama! I don't care that you made it too small, you are brilliant in your ways to adapt to the situation at hand, my big head. I think you got great pictures of me, I feel like a model!

She is a cutie pie! The dress looks wonderful! Could you do a few snaps in the back and maybe hide them under some cute buttons?
What a sweet little girl with her new dress.
