HOLIDAY DRESSES FOR 18 INCH MADAME ALEXANDER DOLLS

If you didn't already know, all of the Halloween and Christmas fabrics have made their way into the fabric stores already!  Momma Cat loves Halloween!  A trait she passed on to Baby Cat, by the way.

Momma Cat made this sweet little Halloween Dress and paired it with some cute little black boots that she found at JoAnn's.  Here's her little model, Wren, wearing the dress.

 The dress is a Jack Skellington print complimented by an orange print with tiny spiders.  Momma Cat knows Baby Cat would really love this dress!  The only thing that would make it cuter is Momma Cat could find some little spider clips for Wren's hair!  

Next we have Wren wearing a beautiful red Christmas dress.  The fabric is red satin with an embroidered rose pattern.  Momma Cat made a dress for herself out of the same fabric a couple of years ago, and won a "Best Of Show" ribbon at the Multnomah County Fair!
  
In this first photo, Wren is wearing her red dress with a hand crocheted cropped red-sparkle sweater, red shoes, with a red ribbon in her hair.  Doesn't she look festive?

Wren, all in red!

In this next photo, Wren is wearing the same dress, this time paired with silver, shoes, a hand crocheted silver-sparkle sweater, and a silver ribbon in her hair.

It's amazing how a couple of small things can completely change the way an outfit looks.  Momma Cat thinks Wren looks smashing in both ensembles.  But, she wants to know what you think.  Which outfit would you choose as your favorite?

    1. Beth,

      Momma Cat is sure you must be related to her and Baby Cat! We all love Halloween, we all love dolls, and we all love to make things!

  2. What cute outfits! It's impossible to choose among the Christmas dresses - they're both so pretty. Wren could wear the red accessories for a daytime holiday event, and the silver for nighttime sparkle!

    1. Maureen,

      That's a very good idea! Then she'll have an excuse to keep both pairs of shoes and both sweaters! Wren does love clothes so much!!
