Patent or pink?

 Whenever I got new dress shoes some sixty years ago, they were always black patent.  And I loved them.  So I am debating if Miss Petite would like hers to be the same, or the pink she is always wearing.

I didn't realize I had left off an entire row at her waist until it was too late.  To compensate for her total height difference I stitched another red row at skirt's bottom since her pantaloons allowed it.  Not important, didn't really change the look.  But that missing short single row affected quite a few areas that could have been a problem if I wasn't aware of my error -

... the flower vase motif which was counted off her sleeve is down 

...the floral clouds counted off the vase already down one row 

...the arms are one row closer to her dress

...her "finger" at the end of the arm had to be moved in one stitch

...the leash is closer which changed position to the dog

...the dog would be touching her dress and had to be moved to the left.

 Why is everything moved one row to the right if the error was not in width?  Because one row higher would have started her arms in the narrower area of the dress.  If these elements weren't stand alone and I hadn't realized the error, it shows how our projects can be totally off by an error opposite of what we're searching for.  I would have been counting horizontal stitches and they were not in error, it was a vertical error that threw off the horizontal! 

I also removed that extra stitch on the left side of the skirt, and added a stitch down the right side to make each side match (charted narrower on the right).

I am having a hissy fit that July is ending.  

Enjoy your day!
