Claire has an 18" doll, and I have a pattern book of 18" doll clothes, and it was high past time I made her doll (named Samantha, after her cousin Samantha) some new clothes. I used material from my stash and boy, was it a lot of fun to pick out fabrics (I felt a little like I was on project runway).
The pattern was pretty easy, though I think the pattern has some flaws in it. I want to make this dress again, but make some changes on the measurements (because it is snug). Also, this is actually the back of the dress you are seeing, but I wanted it to be the front, so I will make some changes to the neckline and arm-holes next time (and maybe add a slip with tulle on it). I also added an inch to the length of the skirt.
Claire is going to love it and we are going to be making more dress-ups for sure.

I am sure she will love it. And she will be thrilled that you are going to make some more. I wish I could be there on Christmas morning to see her face.
Such a cute dress! I'll take one in my size, please! {can you add sleeves?} :)
Claire is going to love this!!
Love Project Runway!
