Just what a cloudy day needs.

The sun may not be shining, but this sleeveless dress will brighten up the cloudy days for your dolly. The sprightly palate of colors grace a cotton poly blend in a full, hand hemmed skirt and an underskirt with a peek out ruffle.  The bodice is fully lined with a velcro closure and complete back opening.  I also made a matching fabric wrapped plastic hair band to go with the dress.

The dress, hair band and shoes are $25.00 to soon be in your dolly's closet.

Skirting the issue

Your dolly will love this flirty skirt and sparkle top.  The skirt is my version of a 3-pleat back wrap with a velcro closure in a nice bottom weight fabric.  It is hand hemmed and has a lined yoke.  That super cute top is fully lined and has a back velcro closure. I added a black belt for that sassy touch.  This set is really a treat for the budding fashionista who can try many ways to wear this skirt, top and belt.  Also included is a fabric covered plastic head band. 

$29.00 will buy your dolly the skirt, top, belt, hairband and shoes.

Cherry Sundress

Forget-me-Not Sundress

Don't forget this dress when your dolly is planning a special occasion this spring and summer.  She will love the quality of this light weight cotton print with it's delicately flocked texture.  The hand hemmed dress is completely lined, has a full back opening, velcro closure and secured straps.  To chase the chill on a breezy day, I made a lined shrug with top stitching.  Ann accessorized her outfit, with hand made jewelry on stretchy mono-filament with a lobster clasp on the necklace and a matching hair band.  White bow pumps complete her forget-me-not outfit.

The beautiful lines of this lovely princess style dress are based on a pattern from Bunny Bear (http://www.bunnybear.com/patterns/1930s-princess-seamed-dress-pattern)

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. 

Peachy Dress

My Pretty Jumper

Jumpers aren't often considered 'dressy', but this one has a mind of it's own - it wants to be special.  Made of  a poly/cotton grey heavy flannel and brightly embroidered in pink and purple, the jumper's elegant lines and close fit make it a good choice for a recital or church time. You can really dress this piece up or down - so practical.

The bodice of the jumper is lined with polyester sheath lining.  I made a white cotton knit turtle knit with 3/4 sleeves and flannel covered plastic hair band to compliment the jumper. Both the shirt and jumper have full back openings and velcro closures. The skirt is hand hemmed.  Lydia wanted a little bag to carry her phone, so I made a lined envelope bag with shoulder strap and floral applique to match the jumper. 

While sweet little pumps would certainly dress up the look, Lydia really wanted to use the pink & grey saddle shoes and knee socks with pink bows.  I think she had a great idea.

The cost of this outfit is $38.00, it includes the jumper, turtle neck shirt, hair band, shoulder bag, shoes and knee socks.  If you wish to purchase individual items:  jumper - $15, turtle neck shirt - $8, hair band - $3, purse - $6, socks - $3, shoes - $8.  You save $5.00 on the entire outfit. 

Pretty Grey Jumper Set

A dress for spring

It's time to freshen up your dolly's wardrobe with a bit of spring color and a new hat.   This lovely lavender check dress with frolicking bunnies echoes the color of the early blooming crocus and hyacinths. Made of a poly-cotton blend, this crisp fabric is perfect for the full hand hemmed skirt.  The unique bodice of this dress is based on a pattern by Pixie Faire. The ribbon sash at the waist has a secured bow covering a velcro closure, so it looks perfect every time.  I lined the bodice and used velcro to close the full back opening.  Carissa's white spring hat is embellished with firmly attached silk flowers and a white ribbon.

The cost of this outfit is $32.00 and includes the dress with sash, hat and shoes.  Purchased separately, the dress with sash is $17.00, hat - $12, shoes - $7.
