SPECIAL OCCASION REQUEST
1st Communion Replica for AG
|
|
This 1st Communion Dress replica was made for a young girl's American Girl Doll. Trim & tulle (for veil) that was used on the replica was supplied by the customer to provide a close replica of the original dress, using a source I recommended. The flowers on the veil and
crown, the satin fabric and tulle used under the dress were provided by Laura of Davina Dawn Sewing Specialties. At the end, the customer decided to add gloves and a purse to complete the final outfit.

First Communion Dress Replica
for Kathryn's American Girl doll, Samantha.
| |
This replica is made using Casa Satin for the basic dress, with floral lace for the sleeves and a bodice overlay. A beautiful venice lace trim was used around the waistband with large ribbon roses, a beautiful lace trim on the hem, with mini pearl lace trim across the bodice and neckline. For the sleeve hem, I added
a satin trim, which matches the satin trim across the bodice. Kathryn's dress had a zipper closure, where I used pearl buttons on this replica, with a sheer casa ribbon tie to form a large bow on the back to match her own dress.

"Kathryn, We hope this will always be a reminder of your 1st communion on Saturday, May 12, 2001.
We love you very much! Mom and Dad
P.S. A mother tries never to break a promise. Hope you and Samantha like the dress."

Kayla's mom received an antique porcelain doll from her mother, that was made in the late 50's by her great-grandmother Olive Brunson, who was world re-known for her dolls. It was given to Kayla's grandmother on her 6th birthday in early 1960, and it was her desire to give the doll to Kayla (her granddaughter) around
her 6th birthday. Since the clothes needed replacing, Kayla's mom chose to have Kayla's communion dress replicated to fit this very special doll that has been passed on to be enjoyed. Kayla's mom chose to have the sleeves all satin, instead of using a sheer on the sleeves of the doll dress. The replica
was made using measurements provided by Kayla's mom.
