Last summer I made an over- dress or call it long loose top from doilies with a pale blue sundress underneath.
All because my 21 yr old granddaughter saw a dress picture on the web. I was silly enough to say __I have lots of them and could make one like it. I did it by hand sewing the dollies all together to make a dress that would hang over the cotton sundress that had a full skirt and small straps to hide bra strap. It took 65 dollies and a lot of patience because I had no pattern and no body or form to try it on --OH well it came out very well. Would be a very expensive dress to buy I know !!!! The dollies are not that hard to work with for a quilt just stitch them on by hand.
