The Check Dress For 18 Inch Dolls Such As American Girl:She was all set to leave for the day - but I made her run through the list one last time anyway. Wallet - check. Phone - check. Library books - check. Good attitude - check. Fabulously smashing frock -check? - check! Yes, that was the works. Beaming a smile, she turned and skipped out the door, into the noise of the city. Treat your 18” doll to this girly, yet elegant, frock - perfect for running errands around town or studying at the library. The unique design lines and extreme dropped waist combine beautifully with the short skirt, and tiny pleats in the sleeve cap add a vintage touch. The “Check” PDF Pattern works best when made from lightweight cotton shirting, chambray, or lawn; the Fall 2012 collection original was made from silk dupioni. For lining, any lightweight cotton or poly lining will work nicely - or turn up the glamour and use silk!

Check dress gets my vote this week! I am not a fan of strapless dresses for AG dolls. Thank you!

San Remo dress for AG. I will be inserting straps before I sew the top seam so they are enclosed. I can see modified spaghetti straps, fancy trim that goes with the dress fabric & maybe using the same trim as a belt, or even a wider strap slightly gathered at the sewn in places. Sorry—I’m an older lady & just can’t see strapless anything on dolls that are supposed to be turning 10 on their next birthdays.
Thanks always for the freebies! I can use any except the Ellowyne one as I haven’t invested (yet) in one of those—but SHE could wear a strapless wonderfully! Safe trip to you all too!

I chose the San Remo for the Elloywne Wilde doll. My girls have gotten into the BJD dolls which are more to the size of the Elloywne doll so I’m interested to see if this size pattern will work for that! It’s so cute!
Marilyn

I chose AG San remo. I’ve been wanting the CHECK dress for some time. I only sew “modest” styles as the dollies’ moms only wear modest styles.
I can see making sleeved tops to wear under or over the san remo AG dress to change a strapless dress to “appropriately modest”.
I am glad to see that the dolls other than AG are included… and I only sew for AG dollies at this time, but it would be nice if the weekly freebie included all of the doll styles.
thank you Cinnamon and Melody and Val for your generosity in offering Freebie Friday.

I pick the CHECK dress. I already bought the San Remo dress and it makes up beautifully. It turned out just like the picture and had directions for great techniques to do the lining. The Check dress is unusual and will be fun to figure it out. Since most of your audience is American Girl pattern buyers, I hope you pick one that fits the 18" dolls.

It is always so hard to choose. Your patterns are all so fun! I’m casting my vote this week to the San Remos Strapless Dress for American Girl dolls. . . but Check is just as cute! I hope they both get chosen at some point. No matter what the winning design is this week, we are all so blessed that you share so generously. Thank you once again. To Cinnamon, Jason and your whole entourage headed to Zambia — God’s speed, good wishes, and heartfelt prayers go your way. Stay safe and well, and have another successful trip.
