Muffy Irish Dress Outfit

Watch out Jean Butler and Michael Flatley…..
Here we come!
Start clicking your heels to Riverdance,
and make an Irish outfit.

My mother-in-law, Monica,
and Mary, Kippy and Margo (sisters-in-law) all had Muffy Bears.
Every year, I loved designing a new outfit for Muffy.
Monica was born and raised in Londonderry.
So, obviously, I had to make an Irish dress.
And the red hair was a given.
In the past, when I made a doll dress for my mother
(who by the way is also Irish),
she would always inspect to make sure that the doll had panties.
So of course, every respectable bear needs panties, too.
After all, this is not a Kilt.
Hope you enjoy it.
And may the luck of the Irish always be with you.

The dress can be made different ways.
It can be plain without trim or insert or emblem.
It can have the insert just sewed on, or with a skirt overlap.
The sleeves can be made shorter by making less rounds.
You can have a snap or Velcro closure in the back.
If you prefer, you could crochet chain ties to the back at the neck and waist.
There is also an optional sash, shoes, socks, wig and a crown.
