I only found 4 of the buttons I want to use in my button box, so will have to make a trek to town for more or a substitute if I must. I used a light weight navy blue rayon gabardine,with narrow gimp braid for the trim.
I decided while making the doll that it would be more convenient to leave the arms detached so that I could use her as a dress form at least until I have completed an outfit for her.
