Eyelet Sundress (Gwen's Meet Dress)

[sewfancy]

I don't have Gwen, but bought her meet outfit on eBay for my #24 JLY. I love the white cotton eyelet sundress with the machine embroidered flowers. One of my passions is sewing, along with machine embroidery, so this dress really appealed to me. It is well made and lined which impressed me. Love the outfit!

I just purchased the Gwen Meet outfit from the outlet ($12 price tag was still on it, although I paid more). If anyone can find it, it's a steal for that price.

I primarily bought it because I've been looking for a pattern for a sundress and this one is really cute and the fit looked great in all the pictures I've seen. I didn't expect it to be as nice as it is; it's well made, the embroidery is pretty but subtle enough to not be overpowering and I just love love love the underpants. They are by far my favourites of the ones we have.

Several knock-offs will be made here now that I have a bodice to copy for pattern purposes.

Luna's wearing it at the moment. Except with her own 'special' touches: a tie dye shirt, striped tights, and Mia's sneakers.

How about a newly adopted Gwen, who did not come in her meet dress, in her new eyelet dress?

My sundress arrived, but then I had to wait to pick up the boots I wanted to pair with it I hiked up the dress a bit too to show off the boots, using the headband as a belt. Here is Mia Susanne, touring the garden.

Here are two of Stevie wearing the dress the day I got her, they're old but I can't take any new ones because I let the movers pack the dress.

This dress is awesome. I love it. I hate the sandals, though! They bug me, and I can never get the clear strap to lay flat against the back of her foot.

The dress is nice, though thin material. The patterns are located in the corners of the dress.

The headband/belt is nice. I wear it as both, though it refuses to bend and contort when pulling it up the body or over the head.

Overall, I give this an A-, if it weren't for the material in the shoes.

This outfit looks stunning on Emily. I got it from the Cyber Monday sale. The shoes are the only part of the outfit that don't work. They just don't fit, because they put the thong too low in the shoe, so the don't fit properly.

I was surprised at the quality of this dress. I love the material and the embroidery is real. It's very summery and pretty too. It looks great on Ivy, Brittany (my PM hippy leaning MyAG #7), and Stacey (Journey Girls Meredith). It actually fit my PM girl better than I thought it would. And on the thinner Journey Girl (who are about the same size as MAC dolls) the fit is really roomy, but unlike some outfits, it's doesn't look bad or silly. My Marisol has been wearing the sandals for a while now... they're neutral enough to go with most outfits.

I'm really happy with this one, especially for $10. A.

Love the dress. I'm not a fan of doll sandals, but here they are:



Actually I think I love the dress more off the doll. I feel like the length is just a bit off on the doll, I think.

I love this cute little outfit! I was considering the shoes for Jess (to replace her own meet shoes), so when I saw the outfit being sold on here for a good price, I suddenly realized Nicki could use a cute sundress...

First of all, I adore white sundresses, so of course I loved it in doll form. It's so simple and pretty with the little bit of embroidered detail. It looks ADORABLE on Nicki, and every other doll I've seen it on for that matter! Especially blue-eyed dolls, I feel.
Nicki wears the dress with her purple boots (from her own collection). It looks adorable.

The little undergarments are so cute. I love the GOTY special undergarments!

The shoes are, well, okay. I have to fuss with them a bit to get them to look right on Jessie's feet. However they are cute - even my mom made a big deal about how cute they are, and she doesn't collect! - and they do indeed match Jess' meet outfit.

I don't have the headband/belt, so I cannot speak for it.

Overall, it's a great outfit. The dress is now one of my favorite pieces I own.

This dress is just sweet. I love eyelet so it has a great appeal. The colorful embroidery is a nice touch.
