subject to silliness
A young friend of mine recently more than doubled her population of 18 inch dolls. This led to the dismayed observation that she didn't have enough pyjamas for everyone. So I leapt into the breech - Five dolls = five sets of pyjamas.
The long white nightgown was a special request from my friend's mother - because one of the five specifically belongs to her (I guess she figured if I can have five - she can have one). She said she really wanted a white nightgown for her Stella.
Except, I keep calling it a 'granny gown' and the pattern I modified was from a costume set for Red Riding Hood. Once I had the nightgown on Nikita (Grand Duchess Nikita Pavla Alexandrovna), back-story began to fill in. I had thought that Nikita - a paladin student at MacCumhail's Votech for Adventurers - was white-bread human but ... with the influence of the granny-gown... it turns out I was wrong.
Here's a close-up of the face -
The wolf mask pattern came from Joan Hinds' Sew the Storybook Wardrobe for 18-Inch Dolls. Most of the granny gown came from The Doll Reader, but I got the sizing for the yoke from the Storybook Wardrobe pattern. I did add a bottom jaw to the wolf mask, though, with extra teeth; and I didn't use the lolling tongue that the pattern calls for.
