I want to share with you an ensemble that I just finished for Dianna Effner’s Little Darlings. It is pure pink princessy-ness; a color that all (well, most) little princesses love.
Gina loves her crocheted purse with fun dangles to hold her tiny treasures.

The fabric that I used to make Talyssa’s new dress is pure fun and sunshine. Even the fabric has a fun name—Posy Swirl. When I saw it, I knew immediately that I wanted to use it to create an ensemble for one of my girls (dolls). I had my youthful and sweet Talyssa in mind right from the start. When I showed her the fabric, she did indeed love it too.
Talyssa’s cardigan is embroidered with bullion stitched tulips and daisy-like flowers to coordinate with the dress. Her three crocheted flower ties range from light pink to deep magenta. They can be arranged in endless ways and one can even be tied around Talyssa’s bouquet, if you so wish.
This sweater really brings out the green in Talyssa’s eyes.
Oh, Talyssa, you have the sweetest face!

I use pink for my doll ensembles SO much, but I think this new set for the Little Darlings is the pink-iest to date. I made the crocheted hat and purse to originally go with her last outfit see here, but as sometimes happens, it just didn’t “work”. I often ask my daughter’s opinion and she agreed with me and added that these two pieces looked a bit like 1920s fashions and suggested a drop waist styled dress. Originally, I thought a white dress, but then I got in a new order of fabric and saw that this pink floral rose print would be so much prettier than white, and, although this outfit looks sweet without a sweater, a super soft light as a feather pink mohair is the icing on the cake to finish off this decadent delight.
The tiny lace rose is hand made with the same fine English cotton cluny lace used on the dress’s skirt and the crocheted hat. I added two knotted loops of rayon ribbon for the leaves and sewed a little pearl onto the center of the rose. Fiddly to make, but well worth the effort as it is so tiny and delicate to look at. I’ve started adding little thread belt loops at the side seams to help hold the ribbon ties in place.
