A Touch of Andalusia: Sacromonte 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

Flamenco is now closely linked to Spanish culture, although its birth is the result of a beautiful amalgamation of many cultures (Greek, Roman, Jewish, Moorish, Gypsy, Indian...) which would have taken place in Andalusia, in the district now known as Sacromonte.

Here is a version, precisely full of exuberance and details. The two ruffles trimmed with lace give ample movement at the bottom of the dress and the fringes of the V-neck will fly away with each dance movement, accompanying the rhythm of the music.
