thanks to those of you who have shared info on patterns! these dresses were made with a commercial pattern for the bodice and I added the skirt. joan hinds does really fun clothes and gives full size patterns. I have a couple of her books that I found on barnes and noble's market, now i'm going to look at liberty jane. thanks, pegeth!
Emma, give in and get a doll already! wal mart has some for $19, and newer ones for 27.
