Sweet Dresses

I like to make these "Sweetest Dresses" because they look so pretty on Blythe dolls.

Here's the formula: a white bodice with a lace overlay (which I usually accent with some glass beads), plus a print skirt that has a lot of white in it, plus a pretty lace or other trim at the hem, equals a dress that is light, delicate-looking, and sweet.

Sometimes I go all-out and add a color-coordinated sweater and a hairbow made from the skirt fabric, to complete the ensemble.  I offer these sets in my Etsy store occasionally.

Pretty White Dresses

I've decided to take a break from the Blythe a Day photos!

I love doing the themed photos, but I want to focus on sewing, knitting, and crafting for a while. I expect to return to the Blythe a Day Flickr group in October (but you never know...)

I will post the things I'm working on, so there will be something new here every couple of days.

This week I updated the listing in my Etsy store for the white dresses with an embroidered name on them. The only change is the choice of lace at the hem of the dress (because I was unable to find more yardage of the laces I had been using). Here are the new lace choices:

When I first got into Blythe, I planned to make one of these dresses for each of my girls...but the dolls have accumulated more quickly than I've been able to produce the dresses! Below you can see the girls who DO have their special, personalized dresses. The other 30 (or so) girls are still waiting!! I love how they look all together.

Everyone knows what to expect for breakfast when Merry is cooking...because eggs are the only thing she knows how to make!

They are Raspberry Sorbet, Can Can Cat, and Prima Dolly Marigold.

When April gets stuck on her math homework, it's big sister Faith to the rescue! She enjoys math so much, she's thinking of making a career of it.

April is my Nellie Nibbles Blythe Middie doll. Faith is my Pow Wow Poncho Blythe Neo doll.

Taking pictures with the iPad is fun! Penelope gets everyone posed, then it's time to SAY CHEESE!
