This one is super easy with a plain coat with ribbed yoke for a lovely fit, simple dress with a ribbed yoke. The lace edging is worked afterwards and sewn on so is therefore optional. if you choose not to use the lace edging, begin dress with 10 rows of garter stitch like coat. So this one is super simple to make, give it a try. There are also instructions for vest, pants. bonnet and a helmet.
