Holiday Ready

Miss Meggie is getting ready for the holidays at with this snappy skirt and a top with a sparkle. The handmade skirt features an elastic waist, plenty of fullness to make it easy to pull on, tiny pom-pom trim, and attached tulle.  The purchased top is custom embellished with an applique and adhesive gems, has a full back opening and snap closure.  To complete her snazzy outfit, Meggie picked out a pair of pop-pom bow clips.

I do not recommend this outfit for very young ladies who might pull off the gems and create a choking hazard.

This bright skirt, top, and hair bow clips can be your dolly's for $21.00.  The shoes are also available for $6.00, just message me to change the post.

Happy Harvest Dress

Meggie and I scooted out between the raindrops to bring you this bright harvest dress.  The problem in trying to give you a nice picture of this dress and shrug is that both intensely hued cotton fabrics have a fine glitter treatment and the lighting tends to reflect off the surface.  Let me just assure you that the colors of this outfit are just stunning. 

The sleeveless dress has a full back opening, velcro closure, lined bodice, double, hiked skirt and gold tulle attached skirt.  The harvest gold shrug is lined and matches the underskirt and hair band. 

The dress, shrug, hairband and shoes are $28.00.  If you don't wish to purchase the entire outfit; the dress & hairband - $18, shrug - $5, shoes- $8.

Forget-me-Not Dress




A dress to enjoy

I couldn't wait to post this dress!  It's a relatively new pattern from 'Crabapples' and - let me just say.... fantastic!  Elegant construction, timely tips and super instructions and, best of all, it fits right the first time.   

About the dress - the body of the soft peach floral garment is 100% cotton but the mossy green collar & piping was a remnant that I think has some rayon in it - silky & textureous (my special word for interesting fabric) and I liked it with the dress fabric.  The sash is free floating, so your dolly can wear the bow where she likes it - front, back or side.  Both the sash and the dress itself have velcro closures.  In addition to the dress, I made a matching hair band.  Though you can't see it very well, the dress is filled out with yards of mossy tulle in a half slip with an elastic waist.  I topped off Meggie's lovely dress with delicate ivory shoes that have a little flower and velcro strap.

To add this lovely all season dress to your dolly's closet, the cost is $35.00. The price includes  the dress, hair band, slip, and shoes.
