Peasant Dress

This dress I made as a Christmas gift for my second-youngest sister (also the one I made the 40’s style dress for). The dress is similar to the Hobbit dress I made. As my sister’s favorite color is yellow, that’s what I made the theme 🙂 There’s a shirt/chemise of a pastel yellow, gathered at the neck and elbows with embroidery thread. The skirt is a patterned, straight skirt, gathered at the waist with a drawstring. The vest is the from Hobbit vest pattern, only in yellow felt.

The doll came from a different dollar store than where I usually get dolls, hence those funny pink shoes that don’t match at all 🙂

I made this dress as a birthday gift for my younger sister. The outfit has a 1940’s feel to it 🙂

There’s the sleeveless A-line underdress, that’s slightly below the knee. Over that goes the jacket, which doesn’t close in front. The doll wears white plastic pumps. A green twistie-tie belt is worn in the last picture.

Ballgown

Here’s an original creation. It’s based on early 20th century styles.

The dress has a pretty long train. A twisted strip of lace makes a kind of sash in front that’s fastened at the side. There are lace sleeves, which are embellished with some crystal glitter glue, and a short lace cape.
