DE 441   Bundle of Joy

This pattern features two dresses designed to fit "Bundle of Joy" a 25" original doll by artist Fay Zah Spanos.

View A features a pale yellow dress made in batiste, with a border eyelet overlay on the bodice front. French knots made of silk ribbon have been stitched to accent the floral pattern of the eyelet fabric. Sleeves are short and puffed, ending just above the elbow. Eyelet trim accents the sleeves, and the hemline.
