I was able to complete the jeans & t-shirt set and workout outfit for all three dolls. Last time I posted, I only had Barbie's done. I'll post photos of the completed outfits at the end of this post. I also created the Barbie gown with matching stole and created the patterns for the gowns for the Tyler and Emme dolls. The skirt portion of the gown is a full circle for Barbie, meaning it's about the same in diameter as a poodle skirt, but this gown is long enough to hit the floor. For the Tyler gown, I had to had 1 1/2 in. to the waistline and 2 inches to the hemline. You can see in this photo, the original pattern piece for Barbie dolls and then my pencil drawings for the Tyler-sized gown. For Emme, I added an additional 1 1/2 inches to the waistline and 1 inch to the hemline. In the photo, you can see the pattern piece for the Tyler-sized gown on the fabric and my markings for the Emme gown. I laid the tape measure down to see how long the diameter of the skirt was. It's 23 1/2 inches!! Wow!I've really enjoyed working on this order and challenging myself to enlarge my patterns to fit dolls other than Barbie. This has been really good for me. I've definitely learned to think outside the box! This week I'll be focusing on the last outfit - the business suit in purple and lavender. Each suit will have a lavender sleeveless blouse, a purple skirt and a purple midriff jacket. The jacket & skirt will be trimmed with lavender ribbon. Resizing the blouse I think will end up being difficult because of the darts and the facing, but I'm sure I can handle it! I should be done with the order early in the week. I admit, I'll miss working with the larger dolls. Emme is so lifelike. I think I'll add her to my list for Santa....
Have a good week, dolls! I leave you with photos of the completed outfits:
