Step 1. Cut out gores from patterned material,
sew together (making sure to leave back notch open to slide doll into).
Fold under very bottom edge for hem. Hand pleat a row of lace around
back edge, glue on. Glue another strip of straight lace to cover raw
edges. |
|
| |
|
|
| Step 2. Stand up dress to make sure gores lay
nicely flat (DO NOT IRON!) and lace is evenly pleated. |
|
| |
|
|
| Step 3. Slide doll into dress, pin on Styrofoam
block, and pin folds into position. Spray with Stiffen fabric
stiffener, and blue dry with hair dryer (with diffuser on end). Repeat
if necessary to get into folds. |
|
| |
|
|
| Step 4. Cut out sleeve patterns, turn bottom
edges (by cuff) under to wrong side, glue ....sew sleeve seam together,
gather tops, and slide on doll arms. Sew shut. Position flat or as
desired. Spray with Stiffen and let dry. I pinned arms into place, and
super-glued to get this position (after putting on shawl). |
|
| |
|
|
| Step 5. Back view (I turned under the raw edges
to inside and glued to form this V-back). You can cover with lace or
trim if desired. |
|
| |
|
|
| Step 6. Decorate with lace around bodice, trim
around top edge of dress and shawl (piece of blue material, I wrapped
around, and had her holding). Add a fan if desired (*NOT included in
kit). |
|
| |
|
|
| Step 7. Wrap chain around neck as shown and
glue on beads and rhinestones as desired. |
|
| |
|
|
| Step 8. Cut out hat pattern from index card,
put glue on both sides, glue on patterned material overlapping edges to
underside). Next gather lace and material (as desired) and glue to
underside. BE SURE TO CUT THAT HOLE OUT to fit nicely on doll head.
Next glue/superglue hat to head.
Curl one long sausage curl on fat knitting needle, and glue in place
under hat. Add tendrils and sausage curls as desired. I also added a
tiny 'bun' to top where flower went. |
