Elsie 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

6 reviews   |  

Elsie is a floor length dress that has a subtle sweetheart neckline. The full skirt is made of an underskirt and an overskirt. The underskirt is a circle skirt, while the overskirt is made from circles of fabric sewn together and pleated to create lots of flowing 'waves'. The waistline can be decorated with a fabric trim or a bought trim. Instructions are included for both an invisible zipper or snaps for the back closure.

Instructions are included for an optional petticoat to help give your skirt some extra fullness.  Perfect for a princess style ball gown!

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

Recommended Fabrics: For the dress, satin is a good choice for the main fabric while chiffon, mesh, or another lightweight fabric with good drape will work well. The petticoat is best made out of a lightweight cotton fabric.
