1940's Panel Dress 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

9 reviews   |  

Create a historical panel dress from the 40's  with this PDF pattern from Fashioned by Rebecca.  The dress is lined (with the exception of the sleeves) and the back closes down the back with 5 snaps (if desired, it can also be closed up with hook and loop tape) and bias cut ties. It is made up of 5 panels in the front and four in the back to create a fitted look up top and a flared look at the bottom. This dress has a high yoke and square cut neckline. The neckline, hemline, and sleeve bands may be embellished with lace. Two tiny buttons are sewn onto the center front yoke of the dress.

Recommended Fabrics:  cotton, linen, cotton blends (not suitable for knits)
