Sunday Best is a vintage-inspired dress for your 18” doll. The dress features a 1950’s style bodice trim that looks charming on dolls from any era. View A and View C have a scalloped edge and View B is made from gathered lace. Views A and B have bias tape trim, and directions are given for making your own bias trim or using packaged bias tape. The bodice is embellished with buttons, a bow or purchased appliqué. The full skirt is gathered at the waist, and can be trimmed with a contrasting bias or the scallop trim. Dressmaker “secrets” are included for easy methods to make the scallop trim and buttonholes. The dress fastens down the back with either buttons or hook and loop tape and ties in back with a sash. Depending on your fabric choices the dress can be dainty and feminine or bold and fun - either look is perfect for your doll when she wants to dress in her “Sunday Best.” Glove pattern is available separately in the pattern “Dress It Up”.
This pattern is also available for Kidz N Cats Dolls.
