Kentucky Blue 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

  |  

This beautiful versatile outfitby Little Miss Muffett, comprises a skirt, corset-style top, faux sleeves and a lacy vest. The skirt has a lined Basque with an elasticized waist and tiny belt loops to carry a pretty ribbon; the body of the gathered skirt is topped with an outer petticoat of four layers of lace and gathered Tulle softens the hem edge. The corset-style top is lined, closes with hook and loop tape in back and has a button placket down Center Front with optional gathered lace inserts. A layer of gathered lace edges the top of the corset to soften the top-stitching. The little pull-on sleeves are gathered at both the top and cuff, edged in lace and have pretty bows to finish. The vest is an oval of heritage lace edged in bias trim. The armholes have facings rather than bias trim for ease of stitching. There is a small hook and loop tape strip at Centre Front for closure which is covered with a tiny bow.
Create gorgeous outfits for your doll with this very versatile pattern – A softly feminine Southern Belle, a cute St. Patrick’s Day lassie, a stunning Cinco de Mayo costume for your Mexican girl, a pretty ballerina or fairy, the options are endless.
This relatively easy PDF pattern is designed to fit 18” soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®.
