Button Front Peplum 18" Doll Clothes

13 reviews   |  

The flirty and feminine Button-Front Peplum, by Forever 18 Inches, is a top for all seasons! Features include a modest "V" neck, a button-front opening that closes with four snaps, a bias-cut peplum, bishop sleeves, and elastic-gathered ruffles on the sleeves and waist. The elasticized waist and generously cut bodice and sleeves offer a fit that will accommodate many soft-bodied 18" dolls, including most older/larger American Girl dolls, as well as the slimmer Journey Girls brand. A simplified version of the blouse without the peplum is also offered for those who prefer a more streamlined top than can be worn underneath skirts, pants, or jumpers. An additional bonus is that the top can be cut from a Fat Quarter! Pull out those dazzling small pieces of fabric and make something beautiful. Happy sewing!
