Serve It Up! Tennis Dress 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

12 reviews   |  

With the Serve It Up! Tennis Dress PDF pattern by Peppermintsticks, your 18” doll will be ready to take the court and show off her backhand in style. The dress has a sporty look and features a sweetheart neckline, tiny cap sleeves and a pleated skirt. It has a zipper at the back closure and a fitted body design. Use contrasting fabric for more detail at the pleats and sleeves, or try the easy pleat design for a solid color or print. The pattern is sized for light and medium weight cotton woven fabrics and lightweight/low stretch knits. This winning combination also includes a sporty brief, wristbands and a knee brace.
Note: Because the dress has a more fitted shoulder, sleeve and body design, this pattern is not suitable for the older 18” Pre-Mattel American Girl® dolls.
