The pattern is for a sleeveless mini dress – perfect for wearing with tights, shorts or jeans. The sizing is for the 18″ slim dolls like Carpatina’s but with a little measuring and altering of the pattern you could certainly make it to fit American Girl dolls, Maplelea dolls or even My Twinn dolls.

One of my favorite doll companies, Carpatina, announced today that they are retiring their Emma and Isabella dolls along with their collections. The retiring items are being sold for 30-50% off and will only be available while supplies last. For example, the Emma and Isabella dolls normally sell for 79.00 are now $45.00.

Here is the list of all the retired and discontinued sale items from Carpatina.

I have the Celtic Princess gown from Carpatina and it is just gorgeous – especially on Felicity.

The offer is good for the 18″ dolls, the Fantasy Adventures doll clothing and accessories, the Girlfriends Collection for American Girl Dolls and excludes the OOAK and Limited Edition items.

MyTwinn Dolls – My Twinn: 25% off Select Girl & Doll Spring Outfits (ends 6.11)The Fruit Slice outfit is so cute and perfect for summer!

Carpatina has their beautiful Celtic Princess gown on sale for $24. I have this gown for Felicity and it is stunning!

The material is linen-like with detailed gold, Celtic knot ribbon trim.The dress snaps up the back and comes with gold ballerina flats. I love how the green makes Felicity’s green eyes come alive and her hair looks so beautiful with it, too.
