The Anneke dress, by Genniewren Designs, is a sweet Euro Style inspired country-style dress for 18 inch dolls such as American Girl®.
View A has a tiered ruffle edged skirt, Peter Pan collar and puffed sleeves.
View B is a shirt style dress with a straight skirt and straight short sleeves edged with ruffles.
Both views are below the knee and have optional waist ties and casings. There is a choice of a placket opening in the center front or a mock placket if preferred. The waist ties can be replaced with toning or contrasting ribbons if desired. The dresses fasten in the back with hook and loop tape strips or snaps/buttons.
This PDF pattern is ideal for using up scraps to mix and match fabrics to make it Euro style. In particular View A offers a great opportunity to use plenty of trimmings between the tiers and ruffles.
