...and now...a sweet little gown for the doll...

...so...it was simple enough to size the pattern for the little praying doll...
...I just cut the pieces out of the unused sleeves from the pajama top...
...the construction was exactly the same as the baby gown...except the button placket is made from the piped collar of the pajama top...it needed to be smaller and have smaller buttons anyway...and I didn't have another button placket...obviously...

...and I had to do a funny sort of box pleat at the front neck...as her proportions and positioning of the arms and shoulders required it for a proper fit on the front...
...there were a couple of smudges on her sweet little face...
...but a magic eraser took care of that...
...all cleaned up...
...and dressed in her new gown...
...how sweet is that?...

~Have a lovely day!
