It features a wide underskirt with a double layer of real lace. The skirt is designed to fall 2” below doll’s feet. Draped from the waist at the back is a generously gathered train, which has a border of beaded medallion appliques, crochet roses, and rows of pearls. An adorable bustle with matching pleats, pearl, and rose trim adorns the top of the skirt.
Materials needed:
Cotton crochet thread (880 yds)
Rayon crochet thread, or size 8 pearl cotton (220 yds)
4mm pearl beads
med. weight lace
