I made a few small changes, crocheting the body closed instead of sewing a piece and adding it on. (I hate sewing ;) ) I also did BLO in the first row of the bottom of the body, so that I could crochet the skirt directly onto the body instead of sewing (ack that word again!) it on later. I also used bangs from my Lalaloopsy doll . The pattern is awesome though and definitely worth making.
