Your doll will be sure to make a statement as she strolls down the red carpet for the Starlight Gala in this designer gown. The hi-low hemline cascades gently towards the back revealing a fun punch of color with the beautiful contrasting lining. The scooping neckline and fitted bodice flatter her shape nicely. The dramatic effect of the delicate lace appliqué creates that final touch of elegance! The dress is fully lined and closes with an invisible zipper closure.
The pattern includes two design variations. View A includes 3/4 length sleeves, is self-lined, and accented with a hand applied lace appliqué. View B includes a sleeveless bodice with added sheer beaded overlay and is lined in a contrasting fabric.
Looking for fabrics to make this dress? We have a few Pixie Packs that will work perfectly! The Midnight Rose and Opening Night Luxe Silk kits include everything you need to make this dress.
Optional design suggestion: To create a fuller tulle/mesh underskirt, simply combine the skirt front and back pattern pieces, place on a fold and cut multiple layers of tulle or stretch mesh in a full circle (no CB opening needed). Sew an exposed elastic waistband to the waistline (FOE works great for this). The underskirt will slip on and off easily under the dress.
This Liberty Jane® doll clothes pattern is designed to fit 14.5-15 inch dolls such as WellieWishers™ or Ruby Red Fashion Friends™.
This dress pattern is also available separately designed to fit an 18-inch American Girl doll.
Looking for in-depth video based training for the techniques taught in this pattern? We’d love to have you join the Sewing With Cinnamon membership! You can also find stand alone SWC master class courses for the following topics: Working With Embellishments, Zippers, and Specialty Fabrics.
Suggested fabrics include: silk dupioni, silk shantung, taffeta, and lightweight satin, foil or sparkle cotton, and poly blend special occasion fabrics. It is important to use a fabric that drapes well so the skirt will fold over onto itself from front to back length. You may wish to line the skirt out of the same fashion fabric or choose a contrast for a different look. The bodice and skirt can be self-lined or lined with any poly or rayon lining.
Supplies Needed:
- 1/3 yd fashion fabric (36-45" width) 3/4 yd if self-lined
- 1/3 yd lining fabric (can be self lined in fashion fabric, see note above)
- One 7" invisible zipper (longer zipper can be trimmed)
- Matching thread
- Optional embellished lace fabric to create an overlay or appliqué design
- Optional tulle for underlay of sleeves
- Iron and pressing tools
- Hand sewing needle
