    I have forgot to write that this dress was made from my old worn leggings 😀 I try not to throw away clothes where the fabric has a clear interesting pattern. This is how most of my dolly witchy dresses are made ^^

    For my May Dolly Makes I made my Smart Doll, Fionna, a dress for the spring/summer season. I didn’t follow a tutorial/pattern. I up-cycled a kid dress, taking it apart and then reworking it in to a dolly dress! I used some of the original structure of the kid dress such as the skirt, which didn’t change except to be gathered more at the waist. Most of the work went into making the top and then figuring out how to attach the top to the skirt without making the waist to bulky. I also made her a matching choker, headband and sandles to complete the look! All the trimmings on the dress and the ribbon for the accessories came from the original kid dress. I’m super proud of myself for actually getting this outfit done. 😊

    Thank you so much for this opportunity to create something for our dollies.. 💗💗
    I made a necklace with the “Drink me” bottle from Alice in Wonderland. I’m a huge fan of this cartoon and I also love the Tim Burton’s live action. I created the same necklace for myself too and I decided to make one for my Alice.
    Alice is a blythe that I customized.
    The idea to make the necklace is completely mine and I didn’t use any design.
    I hope you like it. 😊💙

    For May Dolly Makes, I decided to sew a retro-style dress for my Kenner, Maggie May.
    I used the Blythe Basics Pattern from KristineAnns on Etsy, using the short-sleeved bodice version, and the basic knee-length skirt.
    I altered the pattern a little to make a maxi-style dress, by lengthening the sleeves a bit and adding a frill to make them full-sleeve. I also added a lace-trimmed frill in a contrasting colour to the hem of the skirt, (to make the dress into maxi style), and also a pretty contrast braid for the waistband.
    Finally, I made a matching headband of my own design, with lace trim and a small bow decoration, to complete the outfit!
