Progress Report on Carole

I have completed four of the items I want to make for my Dream World doll Carole.

I started with the garment bag.

This time I knew to make it a little longer so the full bridesmaids dress fits in it. I also made it a little deeper (thicker?) so more items could fit inside.

Next came the slip and panties.

I forgot to take a picture of her wearing this set. It looks so cute on her!

Third came the house dress.

I’m very pleased at how this came out. I love the blue floral and the lace trim around the neck is so pretty.

This last outfit is the suit.

Even though the jacket doesn’t fit her exactly as I’d like I still really love this outfit. The skirt was a little fiddly but seriously, I think it’s so cute.

I’m trying to decide what color to make her hat. I can match it to the lapels on the suit or I can make it in the mint green I selected for her cape. I might be leaning in that direction.

Come back again to find out what I decide and for the rest of her wardrobe.
