In preparation for testing a pattern for the slim waist 18 Inch doll, such as Allie (#JourneyGirl Kayla), I pulled out my Camila Dress pattern by #Dolls@Heart on #PixieFaire.
This time I cut out the pattern following the small waist lines in a green fabric with white flowers.
The Camila dress is a regency style which features ruffles at the neck and hem.
To minimize the contrast of my ribbon above the ruffles, I chose a white organza ribbon. This pulls out the white in the dress without being the focal point of the entire look.
The sleeves are also trimmed with a white lace.
This pattern has cutting lines for both the #AmericanGirlDoll and the smaller waisted #JourneyGirl doll.

Emily Dress in Blue
Inspired by my time shopping for Homecoming dresses, I came up with the idea for the Emily Dress.
Using my training from #PatternAcademy by #PixieFaire and my #welliewishers slopers, I created pattern pieces for a halter top style bodice.
The look is completed with a circle skirt slightly higher in the front than the back.
I only needed one fat quarter to put this look together. And chose a blue flowered print for this dress.

Sarah's Wedding Dress
Going into her 20th anniversary, Sarah came across a picture on a vintage #wedding gown. She shared this image with me indicating that if she'd had a church wedding, this is the dress she would have chosen.
This conversation inspired me. Taking the picture, I began shopping for fabric, a #Barbie and flowers in her favorite color.
After studying the picture for a while, I began to create pattern pieces. I then cut out the pieces in the main fabric and in the lace overlay.
After putting together a strapless dress, I began to piece together the lace to create the look of a v-neck with sleeves. Both of these pieces are sewn on by hand to the strapless dress.
To finish off the look, a veil was created out of the lace. The hair of the #Barbie was braided on each side then brought together in the back. The veil was sewn to the braid and then a flower crown was created by threading flowers into the braids.
Flowers were also banded together with the stems wrapped in purple ribbon. Streamers of this same ribbon was cut to fall from the bouquet, which was then placed in #Barbie hand.
This look was accessorized by the necklace, bracelet and matching shoes originally worn by #Barbie.
