Faux Fer

Inspired by the Dollhert Fer design but to my own pattern. Myrddin very kindly agreed to model for me. :-)















Mostly testing how well the design works; this prototype is handstitched from cotton jersey, but next I'm planning a version in burgundy silk with gold-trimmed organza ruffles, and another in black velvet with silver-trimmed black organza ruffles. It zips up the back with a very small zip fastener. The prototype is designed specifically for the CP boy body, but it would be simple enough to make versions to fit a girl body. It would also be very easy to scale down the pattern for 45cm dolls too.

The strips forming the ruffles are 2" wide, and if laid end-to-end would measure about 25m!
