I took All Dolled Up McKenzie and made a peasant dress out of it. This pattern is really a shirt and skirt pattern. But I made it a dress. I added elastic around the mid part of the sleeve. It was supposed to be in the hem part of the sleeve. I added pockets with bows and a placket with heart buttons to the front of the dress. I also added bias material to the elastic part of the neck and sleeves.
The headband was made with elastic crochet. The bow was made with the Clover Petal Maker. I added a button to the middle of the flower. I made the shoes from Miche Designs Anchors Aweigh pattern. I loved how fast these shoes went together. I added green bows to the side of the shoes to bring out a little bit of color and to match the buttons on the dress and bow.
I loved the way I made this dress because it stretched my thinking. I really do not like the material I used with this dress. Because I feel like the material was too busy. I also will not be using the canvas I used for the shoes. Because it stretched and the soles did not fit the bottom of the shoes.
Susannah wanted to model the outfit this time. Here is some pictures.
