I think #53 wears it best. She is a beautiful doll in a beautiful outfit. You ladies always come up with gorgeous styles!! It makes it very difficult to choose just one.
I’ve never seen an outfit that #53 didn’t slay, but she looks AMAZING in the color of this dress! Maybe it has something to do with the cool-coloredness of #53, contrasted with the coolness of the outfit?😍

Thank you Jane! I chose #51… the contrast between her red hair and the blue dress is lovely.
#61, please. What an original dress-very nice!
I actually love the red head, but have to be honest #53 does show it off better. I think it has to do with the position of the hats. Thanks for posting this, giving us a little fun on this warm spring day.

As the saying goes – “Redheads are never forgotten!” My vote is for #61. The triple hitter of the dress, hat and shoes make a beautiful complete outfit. Almost missed the pattern for the darling dress. (Couldn’t find it on your Sweet Pea site.) But after re-reading your copy I found the directions. How cleaver of you to incorporate the “Palmetto swimsuit top” into a sundress! See “Pattern Hack.”
Thanks, you have been very generous sharing your patterns.
