I recently made a custom order on my Etsy shop for an 18-inch doll-size version of Lucy's Coronation Dress and Cape. It was a delightful project as I had been wanting to make doll-size re-creations of Lucy's costumes for quite a while.
I used The Wardrobe Door site for help in knowing the basic construction of the dress. Of course, with it being doll size, it's not exact-- the colors of the fabrics are slightly different and I wasn't able to figure out how to get the look of the beads throughout the fabric of the dress-- but overall I was happy with how it turned out!
Here are some pictures.
I'm looking forward to making more in the future!

Lucy's Coronation Dress and Cape ~ doll size :)
"Lucy, have you seen this ship before?"
"Yes! It's very Narnian-looking, isn't it?"

Ohmigoodness!! This is awesome!!! Wow!! You did an amazing job!
I love making doll dresses Narnia style! Did you use a pattern, and if so, which one? Are you planning on making any more Narnian dresses? Thanks for the inspiration to start mine back up!

Thank you!
I drafted the greater part of the pattern. For the sleeves, I used pattern pieces from Josefina's Christmas Gown pattern (an out-of-print doll dress pattern from American Girl), but I made the lower part of the sleeves more bell-shaped. The rest I drafted myself. It was tricky and fun. I did trace the pieces out roughly so I can make more in the same style.
I would like to do a whole series of Lucy's wardrobe in doll size to sell on Etsy; maybe that will be my winter project.

Oooh! That's lovely! You did a great job replicating Lucy's Coronation Dress. The pretty light blue color of the fabric you chose for the dress itself works great and I love the fabric you used for the cape. The red with the white swirled patterns over it works great! I especially like the details on the pattern of the cape, as well as the fringe around the cape and dress. I also think the doll you chose to wear this outfit looks a bit like Lucy, (with the curls and soft featured face), so it looks even more beautiful when displayed.
