Finally got around to trying out the Dolly Bureau patterns. This is a dress sized for Momoko (who is a very similar size to Pullip).
This dress came out a bit different from what I was expecting. You can see the "official" version here, on the blog of the author of Dolly Bureau, Megann Zabel. That dress is far shorter--it only reaches halfway between Momoko's hips and knees.
The strange thing is... I didn't lengthen the pattern when making this dress. (And that much difference in length can't be due to accidental variations in seam allowance.) I followed the instructions exactly. It looks like the pattern was made after the original dress... and then not tested sufficiently! There's no mention of the pattern differing from the photos in the book or the blog.
I think the shorter dress looks better. Eun-jae is so long and thin already, and the longer dress only emphasizes that. I'll make a note on my book to cut an inch or so off the hem if I make it again.
