More about how to use this machine embroidery design set: Now you can have custom machine embroidery embellishments perfectly placed on your “designer” doll dress! Based on a designer dress I made for my daughter in the 80s, this doll-sized version features a fitted bodice with stand-up collar, a gathered skirt with below-the-knee ruffled hem, leg o’ mutton sleeves with optional trim, and a front buttoned closure (buttons may be replaced with snaps or decorative buttons with hook and loop closure.
The three collar variations can be overlaid with lace fabric or trimmed with ribbons and lace. Custom holly embroidery embellishment adds to the charm. Make it sleeved or sleeveless. With his pattern, you can create lovely dresses suitable for year-round use. While this dress is best made in lightweight cottons or polycotton fabrics, it is versatile enough to fashion from lightweight pinwale corduroy, or dressier fabrics such as brocades and satins. I used a variety of laces, as well, from a flat crocheted lace to a cotton eyelet and a polyester scalloped lace as trims. I even tried lace fabric for the sleeves with a gorgeous result. Narrow (1/8”) satin ribbon trims worked well on the sleeves. The collar variations give the dress multiple looks and are fun to overlay with lace fabric or to trim with ribbons. Make the collars in an accent color for extra pizazz or simply use lace fabric by itself, as shown on the cover. The custom embroidery options add even more charm.
This machine embroidery designed fit is designed to fit 14.5" doll clothes for dolls such as Welliewishers™.
