A Dress for My Mother

Mom made a comment about her 18" doll being naked.  She is used to make sure clothes fit before they are sent to other dolls.  I decided that I needed to do something about that so I crocheted her a dress.  I started out with a vision of a dress with a rippled top elbow-length ruffle and a full ruffled skirt.  That isn't even close to what I ended up with although I love the final results.  I hope to get a pattern written for this since it turned out so nice.
