Key West Wrap Dress, Top, Skirt, and Bag 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

1 review   |  

The Key West Wrap, by Frog Princess Fashions, is a casual dress, crop top, or wrap skirt that can double as a sun or swim cover-up. The wrap-around style simply buttons, snaps, or ties in place with no hook and loop tape and no zippers! The sleeveless dress or crop top is a comfortable look for sweltering summer heat, and the wrap-around skirt is a season-spanner. All three are easy to sew and suited for a variety of woven fabrics to make dressing for sunny weather both pretty and comfortable. Make one or several—they whip up quickly and are fat-quarter friendly! And, the pattern comes with a BONUS beach bag! Great for crafting with kids, too. Grab some shades and flip-flops and your doll will be ready for a day in the sun! Designed to fit 18 Inch dolls such as American Girl®.

A note about fit: Always try pattern pieces on your doll before cutting your fabric. This pattern with the button tabs is pictured on newer, “thinner” dolls. You may need to adjust button placement on an older, fuller doll. I used ties on an older doll with an 11” waist.

Recommended Fabrics:  Suggested Fabrics: (Main) gingham, seersucker, cotton, broadcloth, chambray, and other lightweight woven fabrics; (Lining) batiste, poplin, and other lightweight cotton and polycotton woven fabrics; (Beach Bag) denim, twill, pique, linen, chino (I used Aida cloth).
