However, I can't say I'm a fan of her new meet dress. It looks skimpy and just off compared to the Edwardian patterns I've seen. So I made her a new one based on a pattern from 1905, so it's even mostly period.
The dress is made of pink dotted swiss with eyelet ruffle at the sleeves, neck, and hem. I used a scrap of burgundy ribbon in my stash for the waist sash and matching hair bow. The sash ties into a giant bow in the back.
The pattern is the housedress featured in Le Semaine de Suzette 1905 issue 1 for Bleuette. I've resized the pattern to work for American Girl dolls.
I think they didn't do period because the period fashions weren't very pretty, no offense. I think that outfit isn't very nice and prefer the beforever version.
