Base Layer Bodysuit 18" Doll Clothes

Your decision isn't whether or not you need a Base Layer Bodysuit ... it's which one to make first!

The ultimate layering piece, this PDF pattern includes options for four sleeve lengths (sleeveless, short-sleeve, mid-length and long-sleeve) and five leg lengths (leotard, short shorts, shorts, capris and full-length). What does that mean for you? You can create the perfect bodysuit for nearly any occasion and outfit!

Layer it under your favorite skirts, pants and shorts. Combine it with a tutu for a cute dance outfit. Substitute it for tights or leggings. Or let it stand alone as a swimsuit, leotard, gymnastics outfit... even long underwear! Your options are limited only by your imagination.

And the best news... thanks to the stretch fabric and elasticized openings, there are no fasteners needed. No hook and loop tape. No snaps. No zippers. No bulky openings to distract from your fabulous outfit. Just pull it on and you're ready to go!
