My cousins Nathan and Erica have a cute little girl, so I made her Mommy and Daddy dolls.  I decided to stick her Mommy Erica in a dress inspired by Queen Letizia of Spain.  This is the result and this my cousin Erica dressed as Queen Letizia for an event.

Yes the dress is machine knitted!  I quickly learned how to do two colors with the knitting machine.

The yarns used is Red Heart Super Saver Black and White!
