A little back story - a friend has a little granddaughter and I made some clothes for her doll a few Christmas's ago. I then started making a different dress in very fine wool about 3 years ago. The shoulders didn't work out, so I left it alone. I took it up before last Christmas, but the shoulders didn't work out again, so I left it alone again. I took it up again yesterday and bravo, the shoulders worked because I did them a different way. But the little girl I was making it for is now in school. So I'm finishing it for my sister's granddaughter. Fingers crossed nothing else goes wrong.
