Leaving the doll behind for clothing fittings has been out of the question since "Fancy Kenzie", as she's been renamed, has become my granddaughter's constant companion, so an old Disney Animator doll has been my stand-in fitting model. She's shorter in the legs and without the jointed limbs, but otherwise the same size.
The first outfit is "Candy Girl" with both the knitting and sewing patterns by LelleModa on Etsy.
It's the only outfit so far that I've remembered to get a photograph of before the doll wore it home. The following photos were taken after the fact, by my granddaughter, at my request. Here's that first outfit on "Fancy Kenzie":
Those extra joints really make a difference! So much more fun to pose.
Next I used some fabric scraps I had laying around and sewed up a Christmas skirt and blouse. The skirt is just a single layer from the "Candy Girl" skirt pattern, lengthened. The top is the "PuffySleeve Undershirt" from a pattern by SweetPeaCove on Etsy.
Next I used the last remaining scrap of flannel fabric reclaimed from thrift store pajama bottoms, trimmed it with lace from the same thrift store, and created a pair of baby doll pajamas using the "Bloomer Buddies" sewing pattern by PixieFairePatterns on Etsy.
And here's an "action shot".
