Polka Dot Party Dress for Journey Girls Dolls

The Polka Dot Party Dress by Love U Bunches is perfect for spring and summer. A simple A-Line dress in the front with a drop waist gathered skirt in the back. Add small bows on the side or at the neckline, or for a very girly-girl look, add a large bow at the center back. It's the perfect dress for a party or laying in a hammock on a warm summer day!

Special Note - This pattern is designed to fit a Journey Girls Doll specifically and will not fit the standard 18 inch doll such as American Girl Doll. A Journey Girls doll is 18 inches tall but has a much slimmer body. You can see more info on our Doll Measurements page. 

This adorable dress pattern is also available for A Girl For All Time, Kidz N Cats, and American Girl dolls.
