Porcelain Doll With A New Wardrobe

Hello friends!  I've been shopping at thrift stores, looking for the perfect doll and I found her!  She was originally dressed in lavender and lace.  I really wanted to update her wardrobe so I started by removing all of her clothes and then using her clothes for a pattern.  The skirt is made using "Once Upon A Springtime",  Flight of Fancy cardstock by Graphic 45.  I really wanted to make the entire dress using paper but because of the tiny pattern pieces I didn't think I would be able to make the sleeves without tearing the cardstock.  So, I've used a silk fabric for the top of the dress, layers of lace and tulle.  The tiny buttons were part of my vintage button collection.

Here's the original dress.

Here's some pattern pieces.
