Chenille dress
I've finished knitting the dress - might add some beading or trims. The chenille is very soft and though it looks a little messy, I'm pretty pleased with it overall.

Experimenting
Making a dress from fine cotton chenille and making the pattern up as I go along.
I searched a lot of old doll patterns but didn't find anything suitable, most dresses were either lacey knits for baby dolls or double knits. I wanted a "home made" looking type of frock.
I've forgotten how difficult it is to keep chenille looking even, the stitches are very messy. Oh well, all adds to the home-made look that I want.
