A Dress for Draculaura

 My friend talked me into buying a Scare-adise Draculaura. 

(You know who you are, and I know you are very proud of yourself.)

I didn't want her to be stuck in a swimsuit year round, so I needed to sew her a dress.

I made the Requiem Art Designs Petite Curvy Goth Girl pattern.

I had the perfect fabric in the form of a fat quarter that I bought at Wal-Mart a few years ago.

I did most of the sewing by hand, since the pieces were so mall. I was sitting on the couch with all the tiny pieces in a bowl. 

I am not sure about the collar. I feel like it didn't turn out as well as I would like. I am not sure white was the best color for it either, but I couldn't think of what other color to use.

The bodice fit is a little loose on her. It doesn't look bad. I just don't know if I should have bought the petite small size instead.

The sleeves are so narrow that I had to take her hands off to get it on her. Thanks goodness for removeable hands!

Hopefully, this will not be the last dress I made for Draculaura.

Pattern Review: Thimbles and Acorns Wrap Front Regency Dress

 My first doll dress of the year!

I made the Thimbles and Acorns Wrap Front Regency Dress pattern.

I'm so proud of myself!

I did have to read the instructions carefully on this one.

The sleeves are actually the easy part. They are straightforward sleeves, just long and with a wrist band and snap to create the bunching.

The top was the challenging part, but I got there! 

It's so pretty! I love this fabric print.

Caroline is happy to have a new dress to wear (and to get out of the closet, let's be honest.)

I was very sick over Christmas. It feels so good to be up and doing things again!
