Our Generation Wisteria
Still on my stroll through Darski's pattern library. This free pattern can be found here. The shoes are from Sweet Silver Creation's Sailor pattern and can be purchased here.
I love the concept of this outfit but I struggled a little with the execution.
Underskirt:
I used the 4.5/7mm hoook for this project with the exception of the shoes.
First I'd reduce the width of the skirt for the underdress. I had to make the overdress much wider to come close to accomadating the width of the skirt.
I would consider keeping it at the original 60 stitches rather than expanding it to 70.
I reduced the underskirt to 20 rows but I would trust my instincts and keep it to the top of the feet likely closer to 18 rows next time.
The tie pictures look more complicated than necessary. I did a simple tie in the back.
Overskirt:
I used a 4.5 mm hook for the overskirt.
The top feels large but it is reduced with a pull tie that allows the dress to come on and off.
For this outfit I had to increase the skirt count to 75 to fit over the larger skirt. This might not be as much of an issue with a smaller skirt.
I used Sweet Silver Creation's shoe pattern with a G hook.
There is an overall set included with this pattern that I'd like to finish for the donation.
I do need to pivot and start getting back to the night clothes, swimsuits, and some general clothes for the other dolls. I'd also like to work on some of the other patterns I have for the 18 inch dolls. I won't be abadoning my quest to work through more of her patterns but I do need to broaden my donations for a bit.
