Sundress and Rompers for Kate and Nell
























From the basic camisole bodice, I made a pair of rompers for Kate (aka Riley) and a sundress for Nell (aka Tulah).   Simple trim for these outfits is a (slip stitch, chain 1) in unworked loops at the waist and across the top of the bodice.  Nell's dress has three rows of these worked at the bottom of the skirt.






You can embroider on single crochet fairly easily.  I made a single spider web rose on Kate's rompers, and surrounded it with lazy daisy leaves and some  French knots.







The socks are crocheted from size 12 perle, which is pretty fine (for me, anyway) to crochet with; but the pattern is a simple one, and I used light colored thread, which helps a bunch!

The sundress/rompers pattern is here:  Sundress/Rompers and the socks are here:  Socks for Riley


One last picture I would like to share with you is from Ann, who made a set of underwear for her dear doll from the Riley camisole and pantaloons pattern.

 delightful crochet from Ann

Ann modified the bodice a bit to get a better fit.  She did a lovely job :-)

I hope you all enjoy the crochet!

    Execellent work Beth. I love Nell's dress. I wish I could do something similar for my little Beth (hope you don't mind for the name :P) She'll appear in society very soon, as soon as I make some smart clothes for her. Kisses.

    Helen, that is wonderful! The doll these outfits are designed for is seven inches tall. If I can help you with the instructions, please ask.

    Joyce, your words, and friendship, mean the world to me :-) I'm so glad we can play dolls together.

    So delicate, they look beautiful in that thread you've used and really suit the dolls, I must get some and have a go at these. You are an inspiration!
