Little Darling smocked three piece ensemble

Being modeled is an English Smocked three piece ensemble for the Little Darlings doll. I recently acquired a very helpful book by Rosemarie Honker, A Closetful of Doll Clothes.

In it she includes patterns and helpful hints for making clothes for various sized dolls. The under slip in this ensemble is from her pattern. The cute hat is based on a fashion pattern from MHD Designs.
I used heirloom sewing techniques to finish the inside and decorated the dress and hat with bullion roses. Dress back closes with beads and sewn loops. Under slip closes with a snap.
