This is what I have been working on recently — designing clothes for my dolls. Granted, my sewing skills are far short of spectacular. The skirt was the first thing I designed and made up a pattern for, this was a trial run and it turned out well save for a few small flaws (it’s a little too tight) that were worked out in another skirt.
The shirt, however, has a few really major problems and once I haven’t been able to bring myself to work on it again. First, my stitching is all over the place and that’s something I think will come with a little more practice. I had some troubles attaching the velcro in the back (I am hoping adding a few extra panels will fix this). Finally, the bust area gave me all sorts of problems. The ruching in the front is a disaster and it ended up fitting awkwardly (again I am hoping the extra panels will fix some of that).
Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciate!
Hi Thea,If you want help or comments about dressmaking,can you also put pictures of the back as well,where you want to place the panels? I may be able to help
Hello! Here are links to pictures of the side and the back. I was thinking that maybe I should add panels on the side. Right now all I have is the front, and then the two in the back.

PS just an addendum to my post,It looks pretty good for a first try,especially considering there was not a pattern to follow,except your own pattern. Nice job
