Who knew I would become inducted into the secret society of Blythe. One day I started looking at images on Flickr telling my husband “I love looking at them but doubt I will ever buy one”. Three days later I am completely convinced I need one and am emailing sellers over seas and picking out doll names.
Well, my first and most beloved girl is named Lulu after Louise Brooks. I cut her hair into a bob (which actually makes her look more starlingly like me as well).
She was the inspiration to get me to pick up that crochet hook again. Lucky me found a perfect 1960’s doll dress pattern and with a little trial and error had all the kinks fixed from this pattern. The result is this beautiful little form fitting doll dress that has a perfect dolly poof to the skirt. I think it has really helped my crochet skills making me anxious to try more!

I used to have a doll like that! me and my sisters did. I have moved so many times over the years that mine has been lost. I loved that doll.. the freakiness of those huge eyes!

You had one form your childhood or a recent reproduction?! Gosh, if you could find the old one again! They are pretty rare!
Thanks for visiting my blog!

from my childhood.. My mom bought all of us girls one. I wish I hadn’t lost it. We have moved 18 times in the last 17 years.. It is a wonder I didn’t lose everything!

You should nab your sisters Blythe if she still has it!

Love the dress! Just got my first Blythe and can’t wait to crochet something for her.
Can you tell me how to proceed to buy it from you?
Thanks,
