Brandy's Flower Girls after they received their American Girl dolls dressed like themselves.

As simple as this particular dress looks, working with tulle and providing a ruffled edge is a little more complicated than working with regular fabric. Needed to use clear, transparent nylon to avoid a harsh look on the seam. There are two layers of tulle covering the bodice as well as the overskirts. Both trimmed with the ribbon.		I found this dress to be quite an adorable replica. I'm sure the young girl who will receive this replica on her new American Girl doll will be quite excited. The doll that the girl will receive is not the same as pictured, as I am using my daughters' dolls as models.

	A little more elegant and simple, this dress has the same bodice and shoulder straps. The wider ribbon tie is finished with a nice bow. Brandy will be able to adjust the length when she receives it and prior to presenting it to the recipient.

The above dress is the same style as the first one create in March for Brandy. It is a balloon skirt style, where it was brought up on the sides to replicate the look that Brandy provided through pictures. A second replica was needed for the gifts that Brandy wanted to provide the girls.

All dresses were made using Dupioni silk. A beautiful fabric for making elegant bridal clothing, as well as the replica's. I have to admit, it is one of my fabric fabrics to work with when replicating the American Girl size dresses.

All dresses have finished seams, and in some places the skirt side seams are serged. The bodices are all completely lined, and the three final dresses have snap closures on the back.

Below are some photo's of two of the dolls together. You will also be able to see a close-up of how I provided a French seam finish along the back seam, creating a nice finish.

Here we have a Flower Girl Replica, that will be given as a gift for Brandy's Nov 2009 wedding.

The dress is made with Dupioni Silk, creating a knee length bubble skirt, with a fitted bodice. The closure is done with 3 fabric covered buttons on the bodice, and a snap closure on the skirt at the waist line. The seams are professionally done, yet no seams are exposed, providing for a nice finish. The satin ribbon is temporary, as the bride will supply her own ribbon when the dress arrives in GA.

Thank you Brandy. It was a pleasure recreating this miniature replica for your Flower Girl.

Best Wishes.
