This beautiful doll
was sculpted by artist Anthony Bulone.
Molds for Scarlett are available
exclusively thru this website.
Scarlett is used with the wonderful
Lylis body, which is perfectly proportioned,
and features a unique swivel waist.
This tutorial will
demonstrate how to costume your
Scarlett doll in a replica of the
muslin barbeque dress that Scarlett
wore in the early part of the movie.
The dress features a very full skirt,
supported by a ruffled petticoat.
The fitted bodice is trimmed with
self fabric ruffles edged with delicate
eyelet trim and ribbon beading.
In the movie, Scarlett wears her
mothers coral necklace and earrings.
Most of the pieces
used in this costume are simple
rectangles, and the dimensions to
cut those pieces are given in the
instructions. However, the
pattern pieces for the pantaloons,
bodice front and back, and the belt
can be downloaded here. You
will need winzip to unzip this file.
This is an easy
project, and was designed to be
used with fabric created by using
my printed fabric tutorial.
You may also use purchased fabric.

Pantaloons
-
Glue a piece of 3/8"
wide lace to the bottom edge of each pantaloons
piece.
|
 |
Glue pantaloons
pieces right sides together and center front
and center back edges.
|
|
Right
sides together, glue crotch seam of pantaloons. |
 |
Glued
pantaloons.
Turn pantaloons to right
sides, and run two rows of gathering stitches
across waistline edges.
|
|
Place
pantaloons on doll, and pull up gathering
threads tightly. Place top edge of pantaloons
just below waistline. Tie off threads.
Run a small bead of glue under the raw
edges of pantaloons and press bulk into porcelain
to reduce bulk and secure pantaloons. |

Petticoat
Cut petticoat piece 4"
x 16". Turn under and glue narrow hem
on bottom edge of petticoat.
Cut 5 pieces of 1"
wide lace, each measuring 24"
in length.
Gather top of one piece
of lace, and glue across petticoat, with
bottom edges even.
Do not glue ends of lace,
but leave last 1/2" on either end of
lace piece unglued.
|
|
|
Repeat
gathering and gluing lace across petticoat,
overlapping lace pieces approximately 1/4".
Top row of lace should be 1/2" below
top edge of petticoat. Both ends of
each piece of lace should still be unglued.
Keeping ends of lace out
of the way, glue center back edges of petticoat
right sides together.
|
|
One row at a time, on right
side of petticoat, glue down one end of
lace, then fold under other end, and glue
over first end. This neatly finishes
each row of lace without catching in center
back seam. When finished, center back
area should be almost invisible.
|
|
Sew
two rows of gathering stitches across top
edge of petticoat. Place on doll, and
pull up gathering threads. Work gathers
around waist evenly. Top edge of petticoat
should be just below waist. Tie off
threads, and secure with glue. Run a
bead of glue under raw top edges of petticoat
to secure gathers and reduce bulk.
