I realized while I was editing my photos that I forgot to take pictures of a number of steps. I will add them later when I make more of these outfits.
Bodice
The bodice for all three designs is the same.
Some of the photos have been lightened to show the detail.
Click on the photo to make it bigger.
Stitch the bodice fronts to the lining. Trim the corners.
Turn the front bodices right side out, press, and baste the openings closed.
Sashes and straps stitched and pressed
Stitch the sash and strap pieces together with two rows of gathering stitches.
Gather the chiffon pieces between the side seams on the top of the dress, baste.
Baste the front bodice pieces onto the chiffon. The center fronts will overlap a little.
Knot the stretch cord about three times on the end of both 7" lengths. Pull the knots tight.
Hand tack the stretch cords to the tops of the front bodices.

Dress the doll.
Cut off the excess straps and stitch to the inside of the back bodice.
Hand gather the strap to the stretch cord at the shoulder.
Sash is slid under the strap and tied in the back. I didn't sew the sash in place because it looks better if the sash can be adjusted to fit the doll each time.
