Still sewing for Blythe, but sewing for ball jointed dolls is more challenging for me in that they come in all shapes and sizes, just like us! This means that while dresses may appear to be "alike", often there are adjustments to the sizing and the stitches in order to get the perfect fit for each doll. In the case of these dresses, however, Blythe and Soom imda 2.2 can wear the same size. Blythe is shown wearing a matching Wrap on her head. I designed this as a shawl/headwrap. When worn on the shoulders it hugs the body due to the short row shaping.
Sewing the dress for realpuki meant that a hat must be added. Most realpukis dislike wigs, but love their hats!
Handknit bodice with button closure in the back. Skirt is attached to the bodice. I love the double ruffle with the "scooped" gather in front! The underskirt is made with subtle print chiffon and is trimmed with antique lace dating to approximately 1900. These can be seen in more detail in my etsy shop:
