Mita's Party Dress & Sweater Combo is now available for 14 1/2” dolls such as Wellie Wishers®, Glitter Girls® or other similarly sized dolls. Perfect for matching dresses with your favorite 18” doll…..little sister loves to dress like her big sister. Sure to be the best dressed dolls at any party!
The short puffy sleeves mirror the pattern featured in the open lace work in the full skirt of this pretty dress. Embellish the extended waistline with ribbon bows, jewels, or whatever your imaginations creates.
The dress is knit from the neck down so all you have are the sleeve and back seams to sew. It may seem like a complicated pattern but is really quite easy. Use your favourite Size 3 yarn. For the smaller dolls such as the Corelle les Cheries you may require a smaller needle to get a nicer fit. You will notice that the pattern does not include buttonholes. I have found that if small enough buttons are used they fit nicely through the stitches. Or you may choose to use snaps in the placket and put the buttons on the outside. Either way is very attractive.
Included in this pattern are the instructions for a tulle half-slip. It really fills out the skirt and shows off the pretty open lace design. Not to worry if you don't have a sewing machine as it can easily be sewn by hand. It is the the little things that make the dress special and perfect for your next party!
This pattern by My AG Doll Creations is also available for 18” dolls such as American Girl®, Maplelea®, Our Generation®, and other similarly sized dolls.
