Anna dress for doll.

Made this doll's dress for my granddaughter. It matches the dress I made for her in October. In this case I used one of the machine stitches to do the stripes and decreased the size of the embroidery design considerably. The top is self-lined - such a fiddly job!

I think so too. Yesterday I told Esther it was almost finished and she offered to give me some fabric she had used for an Elsa dress and Ruth would love one for her doll as well :)

What a lovely dress for your granddaughter's doll. I see from your comment to spendlove that perhaps we will soon see another little doll dress! Beautifully done!

Thank you. They sure do.
She has the two dolls (a short haired one dressed like a boy and a twin long haired one as a girl) that her mother got as a St Nicholas present in 1975, with all the clothes I made then. It was quite something to get that top nicely lined, a lot more fiddly than I remembered. But their outfits are a bit outdated, so I have to sew a lot more. Her birthday is 8th of May - there some time to produce a modern wardrobe.
by mops 14 Mar 2015
At the time the dolls came with a packet of patterns - I copied all of them before giving those to my daughter, so all I need to do is reshape and choose modern style and fabrics.

So adorable!!! She is going to love it that her doll matches. I did this for my nieces daughter many years ago. She was thrilled to have her doll match..
