Your 18-inch doll will look adorable in this super-cute school ensemble from Little Miss Muffett, which comprises a Dress, Gilet Vest and Newsboy Cap.
A pretty, loose-fitting Dress with a high round neck, dropped waist, double-layered gathered skirt with the option of either long or short sleeves. The Bodice Front features a large divided pocket for pencils and pens and is finished with three cute buttons on its bottom edge. The Dress closes at the back with Hook & Loop Tape.
The lined Gilet Vest, which has bound edges for a neat and easy finish, has slightly larger armholes so that the dress sleeves can fit through easily. It also sports cute triangular shaped pockets which are large enough to fit 18-inch doll hands and which are decorated with an optional floral motif.
The charming Newsboy Cap has a pretty gathered crown and the cutest front peak which is double interfaced for stability. The cap is finished with a fluffy pompom and optional buttons on the sideband.
This fairly easy pattern is designed to fit 18-inch soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®
