Robin's Egg Blue Regency Gown

I just finished this beautiful Regency/Jane Austen style gown. It turned out really pretty!
 This dress would be beautiful on the new 1812 doll, Caroline, from American Girl !
 The historically accurate gown is made extra special with white, venetian lace gracing the square neckline and puffed sleeves.
                                                    The waist is tied with a white, satin sash.


                               The dress with sash is $18, and does not include the shoes.
                               You can also find it on my Etsy shop:

New Regency Doll from American Girl!

American Girl's newest doll is "Caroline", from the year 1812. I am so excited, as are many other Jane Austen fans, because this is the Regency Era, in which JA's novels were written. :-)
 
  
                                             (Photo of Caroline from the internet, this is not my doll or dress.)

I am now inspired to make some more beautiful doll dresses inspired by Carolines' Regency/War of 1812 fashions, just in time for Christmas! :-) Look for them coming soon on this blog and my Etsy shop!

A Colonial Gown for Felicity or Elizabeth!

This lovely Colonial (late 1700s) style gown would look divine on a Felicity or Elizabeth doll! It is made from period appropriate "wallpaper stripe" floral cotton fabric.

A creamy satin hair ribbon is included, for the perfect finishing touch.


This is a two piece outfit, consisting of a sleeveless dress, with the fitted bodice worn over it.
Both pieces close with velcro in back, for ease of dressing.
Dress and hair ribbon- $22, plus $3.50 shipping and handling.

Samantha's Lacy Pinafore

 I recently made Samantha's Pinafore as a gift for a blogging friend.  I used the Samantha patterns from Pleasant Company/American Girl, which were given to me by this same sweet friend. ;-)
 It is modeled by my Samantha doll, but I haven't made the birthday dress it is meant to be worn with, so the dress pictured is the Pink Edwardian Party Dress, for sale in another post, and in my Etsy shop.
If you would like to special order Samantha's Pinafore, please email me at thewelldresseddoll@hotmail.com.
I can also make Samantha's Birthday Dress and the Lacy Pinafore as a set. :-)
