This is a dress I've wanted to make for a while but finding the right fabric was the holdup. The original dress (pic at end) was silk but it's tough to find silk prints in a small enough scale for dolls. But when I found this gorgeous watercolor print rayon batiste, I could see this dress in it. I crunched as much fullness into the skirt as I could and the dress comes with a separate blue tulle petticoat to keep it full. The belt is attached so no fiddling with tiny buckles. The dress lining is a light blue silk/cotton and the this dress closes with snaps in the back. The flower embellishment is made from the same fabric sealed with Fraycheck and has little seed beads in the center. I thought it needed an accessory so I created a little silk taffeta clutch. The bag does not open; it's embellished along the edge with tiny silver beads. The dress is being modeled by the lovely Zita and the new Jamieshow Evelyn. Dress, petticoat and clutch are available for $140 plus $6 boxed shipping in the US. Email me at nwickman@chartermi.net if interested.
