“Victorian Elegance” features two pretty outfits based on antique gowns, sized to fit an 18” stuffed-body little girl doll. Pictured are Rose Ellen, aka Nellie (left), and Mary May (right), named after two of my great-grandmothers. All outfits are crocheted in Size 10 crochet cotton, with great attention to detail, including ribbon and bead trims, fancy buttons up the back, and matching antique-inspired jewelry. The pattern for a Long Petticoat/underskirt is also included. (Please note: instructions for the matching Victorian Elegance Wooden Dolls, just the right size for Nellie and May to hold, are available in a separate pattern set.)

The prototype Mary May outfit and doll were displayed in the Riverwalk Gallery at the Box Factory for the Arts in St. Joseph, Michigan, as an example of design/textile art!
