Pretty Pilgrim 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

Recreate an enduring 17th-century pilgrim girl costume with this meticulously designed pattern by Keepers Dolly Duds. This early Colonial Pilgrim outfit pattern includes six pieces: coif (cap), ruff, waistcoat, chemise, apron, and petticoat.

• The waistcoat is fully lined and features sleeve caps. The fitted bodice has a two-piece peplum at the waist that helps define the 17th century silhouette and fastens in the front with eyelets and ribbon or cording.
• The plain floor length petticoat fastens with a single snap closure at the back of the waistband.
• The chemise has a small standup collar, dropped shoulders with gathered sleeves and elasticized cuffs.
• The ruff is lightly gathered and fastens in the front with a small button and thread loop.
• A simple apron that ties at the back waist and a neat little coif that ties under the chin add the finishing touches to this delightful historical ensemble.
