Bella Rose Ball Gown & Party Dress 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

20 reviews   |  

Here is a dress pattern by Dollhouse Designs that truly does it all. Taking your girl from a day at the park or shopping to a grand ballroom. The bodice is the same elegant design and can be dressed up or down with trims and fabric choice.

View A has a sweeping evening length skirt while View B has a gathered skirt attached. Those magnificent tiers are optional. It looks beautiful without tiers in either version, but truly blooms like a rose when topped with such floaty elegance.

Learn the secret method for making this dramatic skirt that is both sleek and full at the same time. This one truly is a Beauty.

Fully illustrated every step of the way, the instructions guide you from the simplest version to the cosplay-like details to make your masterpiece.

This PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.

Beautiful dress

I somehow “lost” the download on this pattern, but I printed the pattern and instructions when I bought it. I did not have much difficulty following the instructions (but I am an experienced sewer). The final result is beautiful. Well worth the time it takes to make it.

Stunning gown!

I modified the skirt to make a train in the back panel, added a bow bustle, and beaded the bodice front and sleeves. The result was absolutely stunning, especially in the ombre satin that I used. The pattern fit perfectly, but very close fitting so beware if you have an older chunkier doll. Pattern was complete and explicit and instructions were clear.

It’s all in the details!

I’ve never seen such attention to detail in doll clothes patterns! So far, the patterns have been clear and concise, making for an enjoyable sewing experience. I will be back for more patterns very soon.

Terrible Resolution of Images

I paid 8 dollars for what should have been a professionally designed pattern. What I got was clear text with blurry, poor resolution images. Hurts my eyes. Really disappointed.

I have made two dresses with this pattern. It is well written and illustrated and easy to follow. The results are spectacular. I get lots of compliments on the dresses.
