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!

I voted for check but I would be delighted with either AG dress pattern. Thank you so much for your generosity. I look forward to freebie Friday every week and can’t wait to try see what’s next?
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.
I’m really hoping for the San Remo dress for the American Girl 18" doll this week. So many possibilities for this pattern. Thanks for the chance to vote.
Love the CHECK DRESS!!!
Thank You for making the week a little more fun!
God Bless you on your journey to Zambia and all the support you give to the sewing community there.
I’m so hoping we’ll finally get the San Remo dress for AG dolls this week. My fingers cross harder each time it comes up! :)
