GET HER TO THE CHURCH ON TIME

 As soon as my dolls heard that one of them was invited to Rod and Danielle's wedding in Morristown, they headed into the sewing studio demanding a new outfit.  (It must be a dressmaker thing - one of my husband's cousins who also sews has been known to be hemming the outfit she will be wearing at a party on her way to that party.)
They raided my fabric, trying to decide on colour and fabric. (I made them take their shoes off. )



They debated about this: 



and this: 



This fabric the Monster High girls claimed (they're demanding clothes too):



And then they saw these scraps left over from the most recent wedding dress and they were unanimous - this was the fabric: 


I wasn't sure that I could make this work as the fabric is a delustred duchess satin and although it was lightweight for humans, it was actually pretty thick for a doll dress but I tried it anyway.
I made the outfit and then was told it needed a hat, so I made my first doll fascinator and she was ready for THE wedding



Hopefully, the flights will all connect well and no luggage will be lost on the way.
