Ellie's Tulip Dress and Shrug

At a time when everyone is "so over winter" but its not spring yet, the Dolls at Heart Designs pattern Tulip Dress and Shrug published on #PixieFaire.

When this pattern entered the test group, it caught my eye as it is so cute for the days when its almost warm enough to wear a skirt, but not quite spring weather.

This pattern features a shrug that crisscrosses in the front and fastens with a button on the side.  The shrug is made of fleece.  I went with the option to not finish the edges as I was snowed in and did not have the supplies for variation with finished edges in a color that went with the outfit.

The dress has a pleated skirt and a scalloped neckline.  The pleats could be complicated for a beginning seamstress, but the directions were easy to follow. 

The look fit both my #OurGenerationGirl and my #AmericanGirlDoll.   However, the fit was too big on my #JourneyGirl, it was too wide across her shoulders.
