Dolled Up Dolly!

Included in the 2024 Doll Club collection, Dolled Up Dolly! is a precious 18″ doll outfit designed by Cheryl Clapp. Whether heading to a birthday celebration or a fancy dinner, Dolly will dazzle everyone in this glamorous ensemble. The soft pink European handkerchief linen dress is lined in a coordinating pink Imperial batiste. The elegant scalloped Peter Pan collar adorns the neckline above the cleverly designed double-breasted faux wrap and four evenly spaced mother-of-pearl buttons. A wing-needle hemstitch encircling the waistband, sleeve bands, loops of the bow, and skirt hem, matching the charming beret atop Dolly’s head as an optional delicate embellishment. The skirt is gathered into the lower waistband with a double circle underskirt trimmed with horsehair braid and a tulle ruffle for added fullness. Add an optional tulle petticoat underneath for maximum flair!

The delightful dolly-sized beret is a charming complement to Dolly’s dress! It is embellished with a beautiful bow featuring optional delicate hemstitching. The beret is securely fastened with hook-and-loop tape, allowing effortless removal and easy cleaning. An additional row of optional hemstitching encircles the brim, adding a touch of elegance. The elastic casing ensures a snug and comfortable fit for everyday wear, providing both style and practicality.

This adorable design is a miniature version of Cheryl’s All Dolled Up! child’s outfit featured in the Spring 2024 issue of Classic Sewing magazine.
