The perfect outfit for that first Holiday job at the Mall! Whether it’s wrapping gifts, babysitting or hanging decorations, your 18-inch doll will look enchanting in her adorable 'Holiday Helper' costume from Little Miss Muffett.
The outfit consists of a long-sleeved Bodysuit, mock-layered Skirt, pretty Bolero and cute ‘Santa’ Cap. The fitted Bodysuit has a round neck and closes at the back with Hook & Loop Tape with a Zipper Finish. The gathered Skirt, which closes at Center Back with a snap fastener, has a tulle ruffle and an extension to add a little extra color and festiveness. The lined Bolero has a fold back collar, optional piping and two small buttons to finish. The ‘Santa’ Cap sports a fur sideband and pompom.
This fairly easy intermediate level pattern is designed to fit 18-inch soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®.
