Make your own Edwardian Era dresses with this classic Keepers Dolly Duds pattern. Inspired by the easy-to-wear low-waisted dress designs from 1914, this pattern includes two dress variations with unique bodice, over-skirt, and sleeve variations that can be mix and matched to create a variety of looks. Both designs feature smart-looking box-pleated skirting and fasten in the back with a full-length button closure.
This PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
