Doll Flower Girl Outfit

I’ve got a show-and-tell today. I made an outfit for the doll of a young flower girl. She really, really, wants to take her doll to the wedding. So of course the doll needs an appropriate outfit, including white slip-on shoes with tiny pink bows! (Modeling this outfit is my doll, a 9 inch Waldorf style baby doll. I also made the doll going to the wedding).

Here is Lucy Birch trying on all the pieces of the Doll of the Flower Girl’s Outfit. She’s a baby doll and normally wear diapers, but Lucy Birch thought she really should, (yes, I CAN!) , wear big girl pants to go to a wedding!

The wedding is still a ways off, but I can’t wait to hear how this all works out!

Waldorf Style Baby Doll Clothing

In my last post, I promised to show some of the clothing I've made for my 9 inch Waldorf Style Baby Doll.

Safety Note: There are buttons on some of these outfits. DO NOT USE BUTTONS on doll clothes used by children under age 3 due to risk of choking.

Here is Lucy Birch wearing a pink and white heart dress, with short sleeves, full skirt and a ribbon detail at her waist. She is wearing purple felt booties.  Sometimes I add ribbon ties to the booties, but these are simple pull on booties.

Here is Lucy Birch in her chicken-and-egg sun dress!  This outfit makes me giggle! I love everything about it!

Here she is wearing a leggings! This outfit was a Valentine's Day present for a young friend's baby doll.

Booties with ribbon ties!

Here's another of my baby dolls, all ready for bed, in her cotton knit polar bear nightgown! This was a first time I'd drafted a pattern with raglan sleeves. This pattern can easily be modified to make a summer baseball T-shirt.

And finally, here is Lucy Birch, out in the winter kale patch, wearing a warm corduroy dress with purple ric rac detail.

My next pattern drafting project will be designing pants and shorts for this baby doll.  I love making clothes for this 9 inch doll but they are more challenging to sew than the outfits I make for my larger 13-15 inch Waldorf style dolls.
