Dress Up Clothes

In the land of make-believe and dress-up, is the play time for kids.  I have a granddaughter who loves to play dress-up and for her birthday, I wanted to add some dress-up garments.




Here is a overview of the garments and patterns, all made in a Size 2 or a small according to the pattern sizing. .  All the fabric came from Joann's and my sewing room floor still has fur and glitter even after running my vacuum  a few times!


:Let's start with this purple, cream dress, or as I call it a Cinderella princess dress.  The pattern is Simplicity 1303 and it is view C.

I loved the light purple fabric but there was only enough for the bodice, so I used a cream flannel back satin for the skirt.  This view, has an extra belt piece, a cute fabric belt with the tulle attached. This is such a good idea and I can see it being used on several of the other outfits I made.

This next outfit was the first garment I made, the unicorn tulle is just so cute.  The pattern is skirts only, Simplicity 8627, Disney Princess pattern to be exact.

A better look at the unicorns.  The top is Simplicity 8729, view B and I slimmed it quite a bit, this tunic/dress is really wide.  I had just enough of the light purple to cut the body of the top.

This skirt was a bit big on her, so I quickly added some tucks to the back elastic.

Next up Simplicity 8729 again, the dress and the robe.  There was very little pink heart fabric, so it is only used on the front and back of the dress.  Sorry the shine from this fabrics make it hard to photograph.

The trim on the sleeve was a clearance Christmas trim

Since this is a wide dress and she has lots of extra room, I thought when she gets taller, I can add a ruffle to the bottom.  

The cape take quite a bit of fabric, I made mine shorter!  The collar is such a pretty detail which I wanted to stand up like it was designed.  I used two layers of fusible fleece and it really has nice body and stands up!

The ribbon, is from a spool I purchased at Joann's I just went for the one with one with the most glitter!

Another cape coming up and it is an Unicorn inspired one, Simplicity 8483, view D.  Oh, my gosh, it is just so cute

The ears are interfaced and there is cardboard inserted to keep them up.

Last but not least, I used up the last of the flannel back satin and made one more dress from Simplicity 8729 and some scraps of trims to make an apron to match, too.

Oh one more thing, I made doll outfits to match for her 18" doll, a Christmas present from an Aunt.  The purple/white princess dress is a pattern from when I made my daughters doll clothes,

 Simplicity 5705.  Actually they are all from patterns I made for my daughters' dolls.
