The girls have new dresses! This time it's another pattern resized from The Bleu Door. What is it about those little French dresses that I love so much? Is it the pleated center or is it absence of gathering? I love the neat and tailored look- even if my ironing leaves a lot to be desired!This pattern was originally published in 1928 for an 11" Bluette doll, but I have resized it to fit 18" dolls, such as American Girl. The year 1928 is a little late for Rebecca and a little early for Kit, but with the right styling, it could be perfect for either of them!

I hate to be a bother, but where is Josefina on your list of favourite historicals? She's hands down my favourite right now.
ReplyDeleteJosefina is on the list now! I realized I had left her off, but I couldn't add it without deleting all of the results. It was time for a fresh start anyway :) Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that you adapt those old patterns for our modern girls! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing
ReplyDeleteI wanted to vote for Kirsten. My parents gave her to my daughter in the 80s, and I gave her to my granddaughter two years ago! Love that girl! Links on this site are giving me 404s and I couldn't vote. :-( By the way, -- I do not use the gmail address, but it was the only choice for me that worked.
ReplyDeletePS I tried to add two dresses to my AG board on Pinterest, and that didn't work for me either. Sorry, but at least I tried.
ReplyDeleteHi, would you be able to tell me what size paper this pattern was printed on, 8x10 or 8x14? I really like this dress and want to make it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Violet
I printed my patterns on 8 1/2" x 11" paper. I hope you enjoy making them! Post some pics!
