To

Apply
glue around doll's ankle, just above the top of shoe.
Also apply a straight line of glue up center back of
dolls leg, extending into the fabric wrapped portion
of the leg. Place one straight edge of net along
glue line, and other snug against the top edge of shoe.

Pull
netting around leg tightly, adjusting as necessary.
Bring around to center back. Run a small bead
of glue next to previously glued edge. Pulling
fabric snug, bring around and anchor into glue.
When glue is fairly dry, trim off excess fabric, butting
edges of netting together to form center back seam.

Cut
out pantaloons using pattern piece. Fray check
all edges. Apply 1/2" black lace across
bottom edge of each pantaloon piece.
|

Place
glue on center front and center back seams of one pantaloon
piece. Place this piece and remaining piece right
sides together, joining front and back seams. Dry glue
with warm iron. |
|
Right
sides together, glue crotch edges. |

Run
two rows of gathering stitches across top edge of pantaloons.
Place pantaloons on doll and pull up gathering stitches
tightly. Knot gathering stitches and apply a small
dot of glue to the knot. Trim threads.

Cut
slip piece and seal all edges with fray check.
Apply 1/2" wide lace to bottom edge of slip.
Right sides together, glue the center back seam of slip.
Dry glue with warm iron, turn slip to right side and
press.
Sew two rows of gathering
stitches across top edge of slip.
|
|
Place
slip on doll just below natural waistline, and pull
up gathering stitches tightly. Tie off threads,
glue knot, and trim ends.
Run a small bead of glue
under seam allowance around waist, and press raw edges
into glue to reduce bulk around waist.
|
 |
Join
two skirt back pieces right sides together along bottom
and side edges, either by gluing, as shown, or sewing.
Turn skirt back
to right sides, and press well.

Cut
3/4" black lace according to pattern instructions,
and gather along top edge of lace. Apply by gluing
or sewing to skirt back, with bottom edges of lace and
skirt back even at bottom. |
 |
Glue
1/8" velvet ribbon over top edge of lace. |
 |
Cut
skirt front fabric and skirt front lace panel from pattern
pieces. Glue lace to fabric along side edges.
There will be excess lace in the center of the piece. |
 |
Gather
top edge of lace, and draw up gathers to match the fabric
panel underneath. Glue top edges together.
Arrange folds on lace attractively down center front
of panel, and lightly mist with hairspray to hold. |
 |
Glue
one finished side edge of skirt back over one side edge
of front panel. |
 |
Repeat
for second side edge of skirt back. Skirt now forms
a complete circle, with front panel in center. |
 |

1/8" velvet ribbon down the side edges of front
panel, where skirt back overlaps.
The skirt is finished
for now, so set aside, and let's work on the bodice.
