From everyday play outfits to special-occasion dresses, every piece here is knit, crocheted, or sewn by Ella herself in Midland, Michigan, and sized for 18-inch American-style dolls. Each listing shows what comes with the set, how it was made, and the kind of occasion it suits.
Ella is always adding new looks. If you don't see quite the right thing, ask about a personalized made-to-order piece instead — colors, themes, and matching accessories can all be changed.

Handmade knit and crochet lasts beautifully when it's treated kindly. This is general guidance — if you're ever unsure about a particular piece, just ask Ella.
A gentle hand wash in cool water with mild soap is kindest to knit and crochet stitches. Avoid wringing or twisting.
Press out excess water in a towel, then reshape the piece and lay it flat to dry rather than hanging it.
Fold pieces loosely and keep them somewhere dry. Ribbons and veils keep their shape best when they aren't crushed.
This is general guidance for handmade knit and crochet. If you have a question about a specific piece, just ask Ella.
Ella works with you one-on-one, the way she always has. Pricing and timing depend on the piece, and she'll confirm both with you personally before anything is made.
