Dolly's Dress and Apron--MAYBE

I've gotten a dress and a linen apron done for
the early black doll I have been working on. 
 I chose a reproduction 1800's red cotton with
a lovely wheat pattern.  It was a bit bright so..

They have been aged for that "loved" look.


I have also sewn a different longer apron with
a matching head scarf out of a sheer cotton, that
 has been heavily aged.  So, I am undecided. 


I am also thinking of making a few changes to
her face, as I am not fully satisfied with
 that either!  I will continue to work on
 her until I am happy.  I'm sure all doll makers
do the same thing.  Are we always
tweaking and changing our minds?  Are we
ever 100% happy with our creations?
