This is a very sweet 7 piece dress ensemble for a 13 inch Dianna Effner Little Darling doll. The listing includes the dress, pantaloons, hair bow barrette, a pendant on a chain, two gold bells to jingle, and two bows for her shoes or socks. This will also fit other 13 or 14 inch dolls of similar size.
The dress is made from a high-quality sweet cotton print fabric that features pretty cream color flowers with red centers, pine cones, holly leaves, and berries. This fabric is paired with a beautiful green cotton that has gold glitter swirls on it. The bodice is lined. I have made it in such a way with the two fabrics that it has the appearance of a jumper with straps over a dress but it is really all in one piece to cut down on bulk. Cream colored lace was used throughout the outfit. Puffed sleeves have cuffs with lace edging. Piping surrounds the neckline. The dress opens completely down the back and fastens with snaps. Buttons are for looks only.
The pantaloons are made with matching fabric and lace. They have lingerie elastic at the waist.
A fabric hairbow barrette is included with ribbons and beads and a gold bell. It fastens with a French clip.
I will include the small beige teardrop pendant on a chain with a screw type clasp.
Two gold bells on ribbon can we held by your doll.
Two red satin bows with a bead will be included to attach to your doll's shoes or socks.
This ensemble will be carefully packaged and shipped in a box to prevent it from being crushed.
Your doll will look so sweet in this adorable dress. It will probably be my last Christmas dress for this year as time is running short for the holiday.
Please note: You'll see an oak doll stand in the last picture of this listing. It makes displaying your doll so much nicer and keeps bulk away from her waist. I can include one for an additional $14.99 with this auction. It will add $2.00 to the shipping cost making the additional charge a total of $16.99. If you want one, let me know at the end of the auction and I will send an invoice and include it with the dress when I ship it in a box. (International shipping will be actual cost.)
DOLL, SHOES, & SOCKS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE. THEY ARE FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY. I AM NOT AFFILIATED IN ANY WAY WITH A DOLL COMPANY.
I have been a seamstress for more than 60 years. (My mother let me play with her treadle machine and I began making doll clothes when I was 10 years old). I serge and press all my seams and do lots of extra detail work. My label is always sewn into each outfit. I sew in a smoke-free environment and put a lot of love into everything I make. Doll clothes and little girls' dresses are my favorite things. Many of my customers tell me that the LOVE shows in my outfits. We do have a dog and a cat but they are not allowed near my sewing projects.
I guarantee that you'll be happy with the outfit.
