"O Hoppy Day!"
Ten Piece Outfit for Magic Attic Club
or other slim 18" dolls

Megan is ready for Easter morning with her "Hoppy Day" ensemble.  The dress has a very full skirt with layers of tulle underneath, gathered to a simple bodice with lace and pearls on the front and a tiny lace edging at the arms, matching the lace used on the hem.  A sash is included which can be tied in front or back, along with a matching headband.  A custom made charm bracelet, a removable silk corsage, and a creamy pair of shoes and socks complete the outfit.

Megan's silk corsage has a tiny  pin glued to the back and is removable.  It can be used on another ensemble, or pinned to a hat for a festive look.  To the right, you can see an "inside view" of the lined dress.  I used about 3 yards of lavender tulle in the skirt of this dress.  I gathered it and stitched it about 3" below the waistline so that it would not be bulky at the waist, but would give the skirt flare.  Remember when our Sunday dresses "rustled" like this?
Megan's shoes and socks are a soft ivory.  I like this muted tone as well as pure white because it blends with so many different outfits.  To the right is Megan's custom made spring charm bracelet with six charms.  This has a secure barrel fastener and will not slide off Megan's wrist.  I used faux pearls and green glass beads along with the gold-plated brass charms.  As I dressed Megan for these photos, it was fun to hear the bracelet tinkling as it moved.

Look for it! You'll know you have a genuine honeychile design when you find this tiny, signature honeybee charm somewhere on a main piece of the outfit. It might be in plain view on the collar, stitched to the inside of the hemline, or hidden somewhere else on the garment. The photo is much enlarged, so you may have to look closely to find this wee messenger who lets you know that the greatest of care went into the design of this unique, handcrafted ensemble.
