Mostly when I crochet late at night trying to finish something the outcomes are not always great. However, sometimes I make interesting discoveries.
As I was finishing the Calico Critter's Mom Party Dress I happened to grab the Chelsea doll by accident and tried the dress on her. Clearly the dress was too short but oddly the dress was not too tight. I took a closer look at the dress and realized it could be a top for Chelsea or with some work I could actually get it to work as a dress. I just needed to make the skirt section longer.
Notes:
This was made with size 20 crochet thread and a 1mm hook.
I didn't count the extra skirt rows I just kept trying it on the doll until I reached the point I wanted to add the trim to the bottom.
Like the Calico Critter I had to decrease the top section to keep the straps from sliding off. Again it would be worth exploring the arm chains.
I am curious to explore more Calico Critter patterns for Chelsea options.
