Is your doll feeling groovy? The Good Vibrations Sixties Dress, by Forever 18 Inches, is the perfect pattern for a feel-good blast to the past! The princess-seamed dress offers three variations that combine together to create many different looks: a school dress with a wide collar, a graceful square-necked dress with bell-shaped sleeves, and a minimalist-style shift that can showcase graphic prints and color blocking. One pattern can create a wardrobe for all her special occasions! Additional features include two sets of cutting lines to accommodate older, larger-sized dolls, as well as newer, slimmer models. Three sleeve options and two neckline variations offer many ways to create unique and versatile combinations. Now pull on those GoGo Boots and start sewing!
