Petals-n-Pleats 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

24 reviews   |  

Petals-n-Pleats, from Fashioned by Rebecca, is a 1930s styled dress designed to fit 18" dolls. The shape of the dress is an A-line shape with inverted pleats in both front and back. This little frock is knee length with a yoke in front that comes to a point in the center. Short sleeves are gathered at shoulder and onto sleeve band. A contrasting collar is made up of two pieces meeting in the center front. The dress closes in the back with an invisible zipper. A sweet little bow hand sewn onto center front completes the look!

Cute 1930's Dress for 18" dolls

I have not made the item yet. I have it ready to cute out. The directions look easy to follow. Pattern was easy to print.

Petals-n-Pleats

Such a sweet dress! Took me awhile to find just the right fabric, but finally found it, and love the dress. This is a great pattern if you want to stretch your skills a little, with 4 pleats, gathered sleeves with cuffs, a collar, and an invisible zipper in the back, and yet there is nothing really hard about it. The pattern is well written, with plenty of pictures for a visual reference, and the fit is just perfect on my modern AG doll. Definitely a pattern I’ll use again!

Sweet little pattern!

This is my second dress made with Rebecca's Petals 'n' Pleats pattern...the first was five years ago, when I tested the pattern for her. My customer wanted aqua polka dots for a spring dress for Ruthie. This is the perfect style for Ruthie, from the 40s era, made with 2 fat quarters of cotton fabric and pure linen for the collar & cuffs...
