I know it doesn't look like it, but her uniform is purple. So I worked at it, and I tried to come up w/ the right pattern. I figured it was a bit over my head, so I asked my Aunt to give it a whirl. She graciously did, and hers was good, but not good enough in my mind, I wanted it to be EXACT. So I decided to do it myself. I'd never done pleats in my life, and it took me a while to figure out how to get the shirt to say "Dazzlers" w/o the use of embroidery, but I got it. The hardest part was the pleats, the neckline, and the Poms. I ordered white tennis shoes and socks from The Dollclothes Store.com so they would look like my daughter's. I even made the matching hair bow like her team wears for competition. I never thought I could make something like this, but it was a great challenge and I had fun doing it. Learned a LOT and it turned out great and my daughter loved it. Here's the finished project:
That was my first foray into dolly couture...and it continues...another day another pattern.
So much more to come, I'm just getting started stay tuned :D
