I borrowed a neighbor’s doll to model, modified a standard dress pattern, added the belt & I think the resemblance is pretty good!
This was a fun side project. I made 2 versions out of cotton until I was satisfied with the bodice length and how the neckline fit – even doing those, the dress came together quickly (faster than a person-sized dress, for sure!) I hope she likes it, I think it’s cute.
Really cute! I'm sure that the recipient will love it.

I've never had an american doll. Saw a few big dolls at toys r us and they look quite creepy, even for me. I'm really thinking of making a new outfit for my Melly. But where do I find the time?
ReplyDeleteYou did a perfect job of recreating the little dress! Love the color! I could sure use some help with the St. Nicholas and Scandiclaus capes! Any chance you might pop over for a bit? I'll make a cake!
