Meteorological fall has been in full swing for a couple of weeks in the northern hemisphere, but it still feels quite summery here in northern Illinois. It has cooled off just a teensy tiny bit, however, it’s still tank top and shorts weather.
I have two teeny tiny, and I mean teeny tiny, pink rosebushes that happily grow underneath a birch tree in our front yard which are the same shade of pink as this fabric print. Not that this matters, but probably contributed to the title I thought of for this ensemble.
This fabric print is the same as “A Plummy Fall” that Gracie was modeling for you yesterday. (I bought a whole yard of this one, so I have lots left over!) For this ensemble using the ivory ground color I picked a smaller doll to best utilize this print’s petiteness. Millie is 11″ and quite slender, and this print still looks small on Millie. I can’t get over how the manufacturer can print such a complex and colorful design so small.
Millie’s sweater and hat are knit out of lace weight merino/silk yarn. The pieces are very delicate and light weight. I chose to keep the embroidery softly colored and centered around the pink roses with the littlest touches of golden and aqua.
Millie’s accessories include a mesh drawstring crocheted purse that holds a tiny hanky made out of the dress fabric, a bracelet, panties, and anklets.
Millie’s “Autumn’s Pink Rose” ensemble will be available tonight (September 16, 2016) at 7:00 pm CST, cindyricedesigns.com.
Millie and I hope you all have (or are having) a great day! Thanks for visiting with us!

This is ADORABLE! What would be the length of the skirt Cindy? And also sleeve length if you wouldn’t mind? Thank you!
Hi Wendi,
Sorry I didn’t get back to you with measurements. I think Bethany (from what I’ve heard) is closer in size to the 10″ Effner Boneka doll, but I still think the fit from a Bethany outfit wouldn’t be the greatest. Millie is very slender, and the clothing would probably be too tight. I will try and get some measurements taken soon, and also a shot of my two dolls, so you can see the difference. Thank you, Wendi! I hope your new girl can find an outfit soon.
Wow, another wow outfit! Love that hat style and the accessories. Milly is such a sweet girl in this one. Looks like she’s ready for a trip to the ice cream parlor to meet a friend.
Hi Joy. Millie would have loved to go out for ice cream, but no such luck I’m afraid. I couldn’t risk her getting her new ensemble dirty. lol! Hope you’re enjoying the weekend!
As always, very exquiste. Wish I had time to do some. Very inspiring.
Thanks so much, Donna. I hope you can find the time soon, scheduling works for me, maybe for you too?
