Alicia's Snowflake Christmas Dress

Alicia (#JourneyGirl Kayla) was looking at the new #AmericanGirlDoll patterns from #Simplicity.  She couldn't decide on a single look.  She liked the sheer yoke on #8039 and the high low skirt on #8040.

We decided to blend the two looks.  Given that the #JourneyGirl dolls are a bit smaller around than the #AmericanGirlDolls, adjustments were made so the bodice and yoke fit properly.  The skirt was also adjusted to remove the casing for the elastic as it was being sewn to the bodice instead.

A red chiffon was used for the yoke an sleeves.  The rest of the dress was cut from the snowflake fabric.

Along the yoke seam and the hem, a silver ribbon was added for sparkle.
