A beautifully fitted crochet bodice atop a froth of net, creates this gorgeous and oh-so-easy party dress, by Little Miss Muffett. Using a few ounces of no. 5 cotton yarn for the bodice, a minimal amount of hand-sewing on a skirt with no hems and no seams, this easy PDF pattern works up very quickly. The bodice has buttons in back and satin ribbon threaded through the waist. By adding a little wand or a pair of ballet slippers, a fairy princess or a pretty ballerina costume is created. This pattern is designed to fit slim 18” soft-bodied dolls such as Journey Girls®.
This pattern is available in 5 great sizes for dolls: 18" dolls such as American Girl®, Journey Girls®, A Girl for All Time®, Kidz N Cats®, and 19" Gotz® dolls.
Recommended Fabrics: Soft Fine Netting; Silk; Light-weight Chiffon
Supplies Needed:
Requirements: For the White and Lavender Bodices, I used Elle Crochet no. 5 Acrylic; for the variegated Blue Bodice, I used Coates Knit Cro-Sheen no. 8 100% Mercerized Cotton. My tester used Bernat Handicrafter in colorway “Surprise”.
1 x 50g ball of each brand renders three bodices.
Soft fine Netting was used for the White and Lavender Bodices’ skirts and Embroidered Voile for the variegated Blue Bodice.
