1877 Pieced A-line dress to fit 18" dolls PDF Only

The A-line style is a classic and is perfect for doll dresses. In this one pattern you can make sweet and simple little girl dresses or a more formal pleated style with dramatic fabric contrasts. There are many possibilities for using trims or piping and decorative buttons. Maybe even a lace overlay for views 1 and 2 with a lacy pocket. The style lends itself well to vintage fabrics and accessories such as tights and pill box hats. The armholes have just enough ease to allow the dress to be worn as a jumper dress over light tops.

Recommended fabrics: This design works best with plains and small florals or patterns. Fabrics need to be light weight but crisp so the shape is a feature.
