One of the things Mel and I had talked about, when talking about what we wanted to do here on the blog, was taking descriptions from books and drawing dresses based on them. I think it's safe to say that the 1930's is my favorite costume era. My favorite author Grace Livingston Hill, wrote many books in the 1930's, several of which I happen to own. So, for this doll I went through the books I have that are set in the 1930's, taking the dress descriptions from them and basing Emma's dresses off of them.
I hope you will like seeing her wardrobe as much as I liked drawing it. With each dress I will include the description and a little about what I did to make the dress the way you see it, how I changed it, what I added and why.
