As As I said yesterday, I don’t approve of the body image projected onto little girls by the Monster High® and Ever After High® dolls, but since I’ve gotten requests for doll clothes to fit these strangely-proportioned dolls (and since I decided to cast a Monster High® doll as the apothecary in my stop-motion version of Romeo and Juliet), I’m going to confess something: Breyer® doll … Continue reading Free sewing patterns for #MonsterHigh, #EverAfterHigh, and many more #dolls @ ChellyWood.com

The photo shows a lovely female Ever After High doll wearing a pretty pioneer style dress with lace sleeves and lacy petticoats. The doll stands in a snowy diorama holding a drawstring purse made of pink satin. The dress is made of blue cotton with pink cotton petticoats trimmed in white lace and blue ribbons.
