#Hearts4HeartsGirls Zelia fell in love with look "C" of Simplicity pattern 1086. And was disappointed that the pattern was for 18 inch dolls.
This was the look she wanted for her fifties Christmas dress.
So we did some math and then copied the pattern at 73%. With just minor fit adjustments from the resized pattern, and Shola modeled the trial of this look in a previous post.
Zelia was delighted with the way it turned out using the red for the yoke and sleeves and the gingerbread man Christmas fabric for the skirt. She decided to accent the yoke seam with a red sparkle ribbon instead of matching fabric as shown on the pattern.
In the end, Zelia chose to put a red velvet ribbon on her ponytail instead of taking on the alteration for the hat.
Check out Flickr and SewDolledUp.blogspot.com for pictures of this look.
And stay tuned -- Shola didn't want to get left out of the fun...
