if anyone's interested, this turned out a lot cuter than i thought it would. it's doable with one lg skein (6-8 oz) of yarn, and it doesn't take too long to throw together. i'd be willing to make more at cost (yarn and shipping, if necessary). you'd probably have to add buttons and a slip of some kind (afton's is really basic, someone made the slip using a size 2 dress as a pattern, but longer cause she's so tall). i'm making a tiny one for rayna too, i fgure she's young enough to wear it with a onesie, rather than worrying about a slip. the dress doesn't seem to be too hot, though it's yarn, and it's washable like yarn (no dryer). let me know if you'e interested.

That is so cute!
that is adorable! i want one, and i don't even have a little girl.
It did come out really cute~ I remember you in a dress just that color at about that age, right before someone cut off your pigtails!
That is seriously cute! Wish I was that good... If you are bored and making more I wouldn't mind one for Lexi, although she is considerably bigger then Afton.
did you use a pattern, or make it up? my friend wants to make some for her little girls (twin 2 year olds).
i'm guessing it wouldn't be so cute on a size 5??
Cute! And oh, that brings back some good memories of crocheting in the dorms!
