Of course, you may alternatively do a magic ring if you prefer. We will start by crocheting the whole body and then crocheting the govn. If you wish, you ‘can start with the dress so that you can place it on the body after completing the neck and before crocheting the head. This might be a bit easier if you're concerned about fitting the ‘gown over the body (I have never had any problems doing so, but it does take a bit of manipulation). ‘Some of the pictures of the body and one picture of the dress (before I crochet the sleeves ‘on) are taken from another pattern, hence the color differences.
