Knot What I Expected Dress 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

4 reviews   |  

This simple and easy-to-sew sleeveless dress pattern by Seams to Streams is designed for woven fabrics and features a lined bodice and hook and loop closure. You will tie this one up in a flash.

Things are not always as they appear – from the front, anyway! The solid contrasting color on the back of the dress may “knot” be what you’d expect, yet adds a harmony and cohesiveness to the design. In this pattern you will learn an easy way to sew a bodice lining with all seams enclosed, giving it a nice clean finish, inside and out! You will “knot” regret getting “tied up” in this easy, fun sewing pattern for your 18-inch doll!

This pattern is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.  

Recommended Fabrics: woven 

Supplies Needed:

  • 1/8 yard of main woven fabric (for front piece)
  • 1/2 yard of contrasting woven fabric (for ties, back, and bodice lining)
  • Hook and loop fastener
