Girl Next Door 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

4 reviews   |  

Create a mini wardrobe with this fabulously versatile ‘go anywhere’ dress pattern by Little Miss Muffett. Make a pretty dress for your favorite doll or by changing fabrics, create a blouse and pinafore; a blouse, vest and skirt; or a dress and vest. The dress has a fitted bodice which has Central Front and Back Panels, Side Panels, a Yoke and a Button Placket for added visual interest. Short Puff Sleeves have top-stitched cuffs as does the Skirt with a top-stitched lace hem edge. The gathered sleeves and skirt soften the top-stitched detail of the lined Bodice which closes in the back with Hook and Loop Tape. This relatively easy pattern is designed to fit 18-inch soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®.

Don't miss the coordinating little sister pattern for 14.5" dolls such as WellieWishers™.
