To Make Laura's Dress

You will need to add 3 inches in length to sleeve pattern piece E. Outer sleeve piece D will not be used. You will want to trim neckline and sleeve with lace of your choice.

To make veil you will need 2 pieces of bridal netting 18" by 36". Lay one on top of the other and gather together along the long edge, until you have a width of 3" • Finished veil will be approx. 17" in length.

For headpiece you will need approx. 13" of paper roses on a covered (paper wrapped) flexible wire. This can be purchased at any craft store. Form wire into a circle to fit your doll's head. Then attach the gathered section of netting to the back of the circle of roses, either by hand stitching or with hot glue.

Lower edge of veil can be trimmed until it is slightly rounded.

Helpful Tip: If sheer embroidered material can't be located, try the curtain department of your local store.
