When this posts Valentine's Day will have passed. However, when these dolls are distributed Valentine's Day will still be in the future so making holiday outfits passed this current holiday isn't an issue.
I'd forgotten I had Adoring Doll's Valentine pattern for the Glitter Girl Doll until I found it searching through my binder looking for something else. It was a welcome addition to my Valentine's project. You can purchase the pattern for the dress here. There is also the same pattern in the larger size for the 18 inch dolls available.
Notes:
Shoes:
The pattern calls for a 3.0 hook which I don't have. I used an E hook for this attempt in the future I'd use a D hook as they were slightly larger than I'd prefer.
Dress:
I don't have a note that I changed from an E hook that was suggested.
Row 10 it is very important to skip between the 3DC as the skirt becomes huge when you don't. The directions are there I just missed it and am likely to miss again. So it's on the pattern and here in my pattern notes.
I added two rows for length as the skirt was short when I finished the suggested rows prior to adding trim.
Waist trim:
I like the bow but for this size doll I think I'd skip the hearts or do them in size 10 thread next time. They are a bit large for this doll. It might work better on the larger doll. I think the bow alone would be fine.
Hair Tie: I went with the suggested chains I'd go longer to make it easier to tie next time.
