Create these pretty summery fifties inspired frocks with this beautifully designed Keepers Dolly Duds doll clothes pattern. These will be nifty additions to your doll's 1950's wardrobe! Both dress variations feature an off-center front opening, a separate belt, and a rounded collar that ties at the side. View A is sleeveless with a self lined bodice. View B has 3/4 length cuffed sleeves and is constructed using facings for the bodice. Bodice darts allow for some adjustment to fit the varied waistlines of the soft-bodied dolls. This is a relatively easy pattern to make and a great choice for beginning sewists!
