The Irish Jig

Several years ago when my oldest daughter started Highland dancing I started sewing outfits for her doll. She always wanted outfits to match her outfits, so I made her doll a Jig dress to match the one she had at the time.

I laugh now to look back at this Jig dress. It's green and has a white apron. I got frustrated having to tie things over and over again for my daughters and their dolls, so I just made this apron part of the doll's dress.  If I were going to remake this dress, I'd definitely sew the apron separately so it looked more in keeping with a real Jig costume. Also, I'd make the bodice of the dress a bit more fitted so it didn't look so sloppy.
