37. Marianne's dress

Much to my surprise Marianne told me she would like to have a long dress.

"I'd love to have one. It would remind me of something." - added she.

"Really?" - I was still taken aback. 

So far I have never made a long dress. My dolls did not ask me to do this. So it is going to be for the first time. 

And I started picturing a dress for Marianne. 

I remembered a lovely long dress I saw on Gabi Moench-Ford's "FairyWoolDolls" blog  

whose dolls I really admire. Suddenly I wanted to make a similar dress for Marianne.

When it is getting cold Marianne puts on a dark and red shawl knitted from the same wool  

as her bootees and a ribbon for her hair..., and a funny yellow pixie bonnet.

As you can see the bonnet is warm and big enough to be easily put on her hair .

Sometimes Marianne wears a cardigan. 

She really likes it, especially when she plays outdoors and it is cold.

When we strolled yesterday it was chilly.  

However after a while the weather changed a bit and we even had some sunshine. 

Marianne immediately took off her hat...

Thank you for stopping by.
 Have a nice day.
