Chinese Lady - side view

My daughter's doll, Lillian Jean, is the model for all these dresses.  She owns this one and only wears it on special occasions. The edges are trimmed with gold bias binding.

Chinese Lady

It is always a little bit difficult to find fabric to scale for small clothing project.  I had some fabric that my son picked up in S. Korea for me and I decided to put one of them to good use. This brocaded jacquard frays easily and has to be handled carefully, especially doing small seams.
