Your 18-inch doll will look adorable in this gorgeous Vintage style dress from Little Miss Muffett.
Although not historically correct, the design is based on various examples of Children’s Clothing from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s.
The Dress is made to look like a blouse and skirt with a lined Bodice which has a round scoop neckline and little fold back Cap Sleeves. The mid-calf length full-gathered Skirt is finished with braid and ribbon attached just above the shallow Ruffle. The Dress closes with hook and loop tape at Center Back.
The Patchwork Apron is great for using up fabric pieces too big to throw away, yet too small to make anything specific. The patchwork squares, which form the Apron, are framed by Ricrac, while gathered Eyelet Lace borders the curved outer Apron edge. Long Waist Ties finish the Apron.
Included is an adorable crochet patterned Bowler Hat based on the Amigurumi Crochet Style.
Bundle and Save! For a complete outfit, this pattern is also available bundled with the Ballerina Bolero Pattern.
This easy intermediate PDF pattern by Little Miss Muffett is designed to fit 18” soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®.
