I finished this outfit late; it was either due Oct 15 or Oct 31, I can't remember which. We were all given the orange/gold/brown varigated yarn; it was so thin I had to double it to knit the capelet and the bottom of the dress. The rest of the dress was knit with "scavenged" yarn (from unraveled thrift store sweaters). The dress turned out longer than I wanted, so I will be tweaking the pattern, and also adding sleeves to it. The doll modeling is a Robert Raikes Hitty. He had a manufacturing business, and all the Raikes Hittys look exactly like this one.
