The buttons are supposed to be here in the mail today or tomorrow, and then it will be finished. I still haven't found a suitable belt, though.
The yoke and short sleeves:
Epic pattern match made in the flounce, entirely by accident. If I had tried to do this on purpose it would never have come out this well:
Done except for the buttons and buttonholes. Floor-length. (I did try it on. It looks insanely long here.)
Simplicity posted some new patterns the other day. There is a 1950's dress for a little girl and a really nice set for 18-inch dolls from Keepers Dolly Duds.
Of course, the one I like is 1080. I'm definitely in a slubby clothes mood these days.
And mixing calicos. OMG. So many possibilities.
The line drawing. I think if you had to do a FBA on this you'd have to cut the top off, alter, and reattach it. But it's cute.
