Pattern Modifications:
I worked an eyelet pattern instead of the drop stitch pattern on the skirt and sleeves. And I used the picot bind off for the bottom of the skirt using this tutorial from knitty.com.
The button band has a row of single crochet and then some loops for the buttons instead of the usual buttonholes. The teeny buttons are just the normal plasticy kind I got at a notions shop called Al Washia.
I’m suspecting that these buttons are too fiddly for tiny baby fingers but I love how the dress turned out and the doll seems happy too! Here’s Dolly K sporting her new “Buttercup”!

The dress is so cute. Is this knit or crochet?

Thanks for your comment:) The dress is knit, but the button band done in red is crochet.
