American Girl Indian clothes DONE!



 
Full look anarkali suit
Here are photos of the Indian clothing I made for my granddaughter, Ms. P. I am pleased with how they turned out. Amazing what you can do with a little upcycling.  And there are 2 sleeves and the back pieces left over for use in art quilting. The china doll who is modeling is a little smaller than the American Girl. I used an original AG pattern and checked measurements I found online. The trick was to stitch, fit and cut the sari top so I didn't cut any of the beading threads. I felt like my own mini version of that popular runway show.
