teddy bear striped dresses

Anchor dress

Yellow dress

Two more dresses for your bear. Both will fit a 15" build a bear.
The dress is knit from the hem up with sleeves knit in with the bodice.  The anchor is embroidered on after the dress is completed. I used duplicate stitch but cross stitch would work
