Right then moving along, the skirt is taken from the previous outfit and modified a little.
The basic style of the skirt is similar but I have made it a longer length this time. It has top stitching done in a contrasting red with tiny red buttons trimming the waist at the top. Again, it is fully lined and zips up the back.
This style of coat is very fashionable over here in England, and just HAD to be done in the red tartan. This gave me the opportunity to use the tartan going in different directions. Tartan can be fun to work with, just by using it in different ways.

This coat is very difficult to find something to wear with it, due to the short length. But, it is supposed to be like that and the high waisted skirt breached the gap so to speak! I like the way this outfit gives the doll lots of length and height.
The hood was a little risky to do, as the doll we were sent had no head. I had to assume she had a normal sized head and just go for it! But it looks good either up or down, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.
Underneath her coat she has a little sleeveless top. I have made it a polo neck so that it can be seen when the coat is fastened and it gives a tidier look to the neck.
I didn’t want sleeves, as we all know, sleeves are just a headache when you are trying to get a coat on a doll. I also didn’t want too much bulk on the shoulders as the jacket is quite boxy, the last thing she would need is bulky shoulders! So I have taken the shoulders back almost to the collar line.
To finish off the outfit she has these great boots, they are Joe Tai boots and are superb. They just finish off this outfit nicely!
