I've decided to also create a tutorial for the chain-stitch which I used to embellish one of the dresses - as well as many of my other doll costumes. It's a very handy way to add a very narrow embellishment to the edges of outfits. So, on to make that tutorial next.....
The page with free patterns and instructions is now online in the Tutorials section. I think everything works - at least it did when I tried it. It's interesting, that when I went to post the button on the Tutorials page, I noticed that I used the exact same fabrics for one of my Nami's dresses as I did when I made the sample for the 'Cute & Colourful' Narae pattern! I guess I really liked those fabrics! Anyway, I hope other BID lovers who want to sew their own doll clothes find the patterns useful.

Millie is quite a bit thinner than an Iplehouse tiny, so you'll need to adjust the pattern accordingly, unless you don't mind very baggy clothes on her.
