The three dresses shown are part of the dresses that are stored in a trunk that contains 6 dresses with their hats, a little wool and fur bordered coat and hat, and a little girl dressed in her nightgown with slippers.

I have always loved boxes, and when a box contains a surprise, that’s even better. These little dresses would be fabulous in a shadow box display and I have also made them so they will fit a little 4 inch doll with the larger scale body.

You can, of course, modify these dresses to fit a thinner doll, but make a muslin first.

I hope you enjoy making these dresses. The sky’s the limit for this wardrobe, so be sure to check your scrap box and let you imagination soar.
