I love making historical clothing for the 18" doll. One era that I love are the 1930s and 1940s. I knew which fabrics I wanted to use (the floral print one screamed vintage to me) and worked from that. There had to be pleats. The front needed to be fitted and I wanted to try my hand at embroidery (something small). I drew up a sketch of how I wanted this dress to look (first in my mind, then on paper). I must admit, it looked a lot better in my mind!

I did a mock up first with some pink material and scraps of white. 

I modified my pattern pieces and cut up the real stuff.

The inspiration for the embroidery came from a Vogue Doll pattern. It was a simple flower design consisting of the lazy daisy stitch and french knots.

Here are some pictures of Ruthie getting fitted for her new dress

Pleats in progress 

I decided to do a beret to go with the dress using a Keepers Dolly Duds pattern.
