Dress Making for the Doll

It has been two months since I started making a dress for the doll. It wasn't straightforward, I struggled a lot. My initial plan was to make a one piece dress but as my doll isn't very flexible, to wear it the body had to be dismantled.
So the plan had to be changed to make two pieces. The round collar was the most challenging part of all, in contrast, making knickers was the easiest.
Then search for a sash belt/ribbon took a while. Although the pattern of the ribbon is perfect for my image, the texture is rougher than I expected. Over all it was very slow progress, I wish someone else could make a dresses for my dolls.

Fabric: Liberty Tana Lawn Plain Black
