Remember days gone by spent climbing trees and riding bikes? Reminisce by making your doll these spunky fifties inspired play clothes with this beautifully designed Keepers Dolly Duds doll clothes pattern. This versatile pattern makes both long and short bibbed pants with two different pocket styles. The overalls button at the sides to make them easy to put on and the elastic back waist makes for a nice fit. The simple front buttoning blouse adds a touch of feminine charm to this otherwise tomboyish outfit. It features a rounded collar with and can be made with either a straight or banded short puffed sleeve. This 1950s inspired pattern is suited for seamstresses with intermediate sewing skills.
