"Twirling" for Nuala Himstedt by OCL

Nuala is the sweet little girl modeling for you today. She is a 32" tall Himstedt with a chest measurement of 15 inches. Even though Nuala is modeling this dress it will also fit other dolls up to about 34" tall.

What little girl doesn't love to twirl? Nuala and her sisters are no different and really enjoyed twirling in this newest creation.

Peasant Blouse:

What beautiful fabric! It has a light gauzy feel to it and a lot of decorative stitching and even an occasional tiny iridescent sequin. I designed this blouse with an elastic neck so it just slips over your little girls head. There is a ruffle at the bottom of each sleeve and along the bottom. The finished length of the blouse is 10 inches ( 1~1/2inches below avg. neckline) and the finished length of the sleeve is 11 inches. Also included is the floral sash to tie around her waist or use as a hair tie. With the style of the blouse and elastic neck this blouse will fit the larger girls as well.

Twirl skirt:

If you are familiar with my work you already know I love the fabrics from designer Robyn Pandolph. SEW much so that I keep my scraps and have put them to good use in this sweet twirl skirt. The skirt is a patchwork of fabrics from Robyns fabric lines including Butterfly Kisses,Forever Yours, and Simply Basics to name a few. This full skirt has an elastic waist and full ruffles along the bottom. There is a full ruffle made from a wide white eyelet topped with a smaller ruffle made from a Robyn Pandolph floral. The finished length of the skirt is 15 inches and the finished width is approx. 70 inches.

RAG BABY:

Yes Nuala's little "RAG BABY" is also included. The RAG BABY was custom made for me by Brenda of Brendi's Dolls. Be sure to check out her other auctions under seller id brendaa68. Thank you Brenda! This little RAG BABY is 13 inches tall and has the cutest painted face, socks and shoes. I have made the rag baby it's own matching outfit with a peasant blouse made from the same fabric as the big girls and even a patched work dress made with 2 inch blocks! It has a white eyelet ruffle topped with a floral ruffle along the dress bottom. SO CUTE!
