Ciao Bella, by Little Miss Muffett - An adorable and versatile dress made to look like a skirt and blouse is the perfect outfit for any special daytime occasion. The pretty fitted Blouse has a high round neck and features an off-center lace-edged Ruffle. Three small buttons adjacent to the ruffle add visual interest. The short straight Sleeves are slightly gathered at the shoulder and are also edged in narrow lace. For extra flair, the top layer of the gathered Skirt is stitched to the Waistband first and then the remaining layers are added. The Bodice and Skirt are lined separately. The Dress closes in the back with Hook & Loop Tape. This relatively easy pattern is designed to fit 14.5” dolls such as WellieWishers™.
Please see our other listing to make this outfit for 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
