Back in 2007 my sister, Gabrielle and I worked on researching a dress that Felicity (of American Girl) wears. It is her old meet dress and one of her dresses in the movie, Felicity: An American Girl Adventure (2005).
::Inspiration::
Skip to 4:00 minutes to see the dress.
::Our Version::
::What we did::
Using simplicity 3723 for the starting point, we had the bodice and skirt be separated, unlike the pattern were it is together. We boned, interfaced, and lined the bodice. While for the skirt, we just sewed and gathered three lengths of fabric into a waistband.

Ohhh!!!! Your Felicity-inspired dress looks just like the original! That's gorgeous!
Oh, my sisters and I just LOVE this movie. ;) (Ya *never* get too old for American Girl. I firmly believe that. hehe :D )
Personally we all think the Felicity movie is the best American Girl movie, though we also liked Samantha...
Neato that its on youtube! My younger sisters love it so much, but it seems like they have to wait forever to get out of the library (its always on hold.) Now they can wait it whenever they want, thanks to you! ;)
Very pretty dress, btw. :)
Thanks girls.
Michaela - Me and my sisters think that Felicity is the best one too. =) We also like Samantha, we think if it was a little more smooth throughout the movie and less scrapbook-y, it would have been a lot better. =)
Oh my WORD!!! I love the dresses all of them!!!
