Note: The shawl I made has 112 rows of V stitches. It is 23 inches long; 5 ½ inches wide.

The dress is not my design.
It is based on a pattern I proofed called Nita's Pineapples and Fans Evening Dress.
The original pattern is for a shorter dress.
After I finished it, I decided I wanted it longer, so I added additional rows.
