If your My TwinnŽ dolls have felt left out because they don't have scrubs or lab coats or a patient gown like their 18" sisters, assure them that they can now enter the medical professions! |

If you're like me and love a dress with a square neckline, but just hate to sew those corners, well, this is the pattern for you! The cormers are sewn in a way that completely eliminates having to pivot and hope the corners will be symmetrical! Simple straight seams give the look you love but so fast and easily, you'll wonder why this wasn't thought of before. Dress it up with trim or embroidery or let the fabric show off this dress. As the skirt is not as full, it's a great pattern to use to show of an especially pretty print! In addition to being simple to sew, the front bodice insert lends itself to many ways to make the dress special. Included in the pattern are several suggestions in addition to the ideas shown here. Ann Estelle's dress has a trim made of black and red baby rick rack twisted together and hand sewn to the insert and sleeves. This is very simple to do, it just takes a little time, but can be just the right touch on a simple dress. My Twinn's dress has layers of purchased embroidered edging on the insert and a row of the same trim is sewn to a sewn in slip so the trim just peaks out below the skirt hem. A great way to use just a bit of trim. Josefina is wearing the dress as I orginally designed this pattern. The trim is purchased embroidered ribbon sewn on red velveteen. As the fabric is thicker, the skirt is simply pleated and attached to the bodice. Linda's dress has machine embroidery on the sleeves, insert and hem. Georgia's dress has the insert cut on the bias and baby rick rack in the seam, sleeve hems and set into the skirt just above the hem. Betsy's dress would make a lovely First Communion dress! The trim is tatting in the tiniest size imaginable and sewn into the seam at the top of the insert, at the hem of the sleeves and skirt. Just add a veil and she's ready!
