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.
