Alice in Wonderland

October is a month of fun and dressing up as your favorite characters. Our dolls love to dress up for Halloween, too. McKenna looks stunning as Alice in Wonderland.

McKenna's dress is two pieces. The dress is a simple blue dress with a white collar and it's topped by a white pinafore.

I added a black hair bow to McKenna's hair to complete the look.  The blue color of the Alice dress looks exquisite with Alice's eyes.

Here's a back view of the dress. The entire outfit was pretty easy to make. The dress is a basic Simplicity pattern. It Velcros in back. I added a white color to match Alice's outfit. The apron was made from the Kirsten pattern; I simply made the front of it triangular on the bottom and it closes in back with Velcro.  I attached a "bow" to the back of the apron so it is always tied and I won't have to retie for the apron over and over.

McKenna's look is complete with a pair of white tights and plain black shoes (both from the Springfield dolls collection.) I expect the White Rabbit to show up any moment!

“Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.”  - Lewis Carroll
