Doll's Clothes: Start Small

Before I began crafting my clothing on a realistic, to-wear, human-sized scale, I began by trying out my skill on small pieces, crafted for a 16" doll.
All of the dolls pictured (except the plastic one!) are Waldorf-style dolls that my mother made for me and for each of my siblings.
Thank you, Mom, for Molly!

Garment Data:
- Type: Doll dress/shirt/pants
- Date made: ?
- Pattern: Magic Cabin Doll patterns Magic Cabin Dolls (I can only find the doll patterns, but what you see them wearing in this picture are the clothes based on the doll clothes pattern kit they used to sell)
- Fabric: cotton prints
- Trim: n/a
- Time to finish: ?
- Notes: none
