DE 454   Kayla

Kayla is a beautiful 24" doll by artist Dianna Effner. Once again, Diana's work has inspired us to create an extra special outfit for an extra special doll. Kayla wears a pretty print dress accented with venice lace, and a bodice which is lavished with silk ribbon embroidery. (Stitch instructions and embroidery pattern are included.) The dress features short cuffed sleeves, and a full skirt which is accented by wide tucks at the hemline. Over her dress, Kayla wears a beautiful double breasted coat made in a soft, rose, wool boucle. The coat has contrasting black velveteen collar and cuffs, and features velveteen covered buttons. Coat back has a deep center pleat, and sleeves are gently puffed at the shoulders. A matching beret in pink wool and black velveteen complete this charming emsemble. Pantaloons are also included.
