Amelia's new nightgown

They're too sexy for their clothing - but they have to wear them anyway! Did you buy it? Did you make it? Who cares - let'm strut their stuff here!

Amelia's new nightgown

This is a version of a Hello Dolly Boutique pattern, Midnight Kiss. This is my second draft, to double check my pattern alterations.

I have her heeled feet on again and was too lazy to switch them out (she needs slippers with kitten heels and pompoms or something) so she is leaning in a corner!

Beautiful work and such a nice pattern! It's very elegant 30's looking to me.
Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Aww, thank you!
You are spot on, it is 1930s.

It's looking good! Your girls are going to have an amazing wardrobe.
You said this was your second draft, is there going to be a third/final draft? If there is what color fabric are you going to use? I think it would look great in a light pink or pale jade.

Yes. The final draft will be a full-on evening gown. The body of the dress (the nightgown in this incarnation) will be white silk crepe de chine, and there are three rows of flounces at the bottom (not on the nightgown) of the dress that will be silk organza lamé (gold on white). The bolero jacket will also be lamé.
The pattern needed a little bit of tweaking, since Linda of Hello Dolly Boutique drafted it for an American Model doll, not exactly the same measurements as my Amelia.
