"Pumpkin Patchwork" for Pauline Himstedt by OCL


Pauline is a 28" tall Himstedt and she is modeling a 4 piece ensemble by One Creative Lady.

This outfit has been designed to fit Himstedt dolls with a waist/chest measurement of up to 15 inches. The finished length of the dress is 16 1/2 inches.

"Pumkin Patchwork" is a beautiful 4 piece ensemble consisting of a dress, pinafore, petticoat and bloomers too!

The dress has an empire waist, fully lined bodice, peter pan style collar, short puffy sleeves and full skirt. The dress print is tiny candy corn on an off white background. A coordinating print of candy corn on a terra cotta background was used to make the piping around the collar and bodice. This same fabric was inserted into a tuck along the skirt bottom and forms the casing on the sleeves for the elastic. The dress buttons at the bodice back.

The pinafore is a patchwork of prints on a background of off white. You will find pumpkins, scarecrows and Jack o'lanterns in soft greens, golds and terra cotta. The pinafore fastens at the bodice front with sewn in snaps and is accented with 3 small terra cotta colored buttons. The skirt portion of the pinafore is left open so her dress can peek through. The hem is sewn in by hand so there are no unsightly stitches showing!

Under her dress Pauline is wearing a petticoat of natural muslin. It has an encased elastic waist and very full ruffle along the bottom.

Pauline is also modeling a pair of bloomers made from natural muslin. They have an encased elastic waist and the elastic in the legs is encased in a casing made from the terra cotta print. The bottom of the legs are trimmed with the same hand dyed venise lace as was used in the dress.

This was a One Of A Kind creation and will not be duplicated.
