I made the Joy Dress from the Doll Joy pattern maker on Pixie Faire.
The repetition in the pattern name and the pattern maker name is a bit annoying.
Anyway, I was really excited to get this pattern as a Freebie Friday, thank you.
I made the pattern sized for 14.5 inch to 15 inch dolls.
Sadly, I don't totally 100% like this pattern.
I like the sleeves, they are really cute. I love doll clothes with long sleeves!
I thought that the neck was too big on Stella, and it would be better with a narrower neck. Which I can fix next time, but not this time.
The dress is meant to be a very loose fix around the waist. It looks cute in pictures, but it bothers me in real life.
The material for this dress is from a blouse I got at the thrift store. I like the fabric.
All I have to do to finish this dress is finish the bottom hem. I have not yet done so.
For one, thing, I do not want the dress to be any shorter than it is. Next time, if I ever make it, I might make the bottom ruffe a half inch longer to compensate for that.
And as I said, the loose fit around the waist bothers me. I am tempted to cut the whole thing shorter and add a fitted waist. Or even make it into a blouse.
Anyway, I can't make up my mind what to do!
