This easy, breezy summer dress will carry your doll from the first signs of spring all the way through the hot, lazy days of summer. The Sunshine Dress is an easy to sew dress for your WellieWishers™ doll. Choose the easiest one piece front, a contrasting panel or princess seams with an accent bow or belt for a more fitted look. With a fully open hook and loop tape closure in back, it's easy on and off for little hands to dress their own dolls. This pattern is also a perfect starter pattern for girls that want to learn to sew for their dolls, or for more experienced seamstresses to make a basic doll wardrobe with lots of options.
This classic but simple dress is very easily made from a quarter yard of fabric (quilter's fat quarters work great!) in a woven cotton or other lightweight fabric. Mix and match your fabrics and trims for unlimited design options from one basic pattern.
Your instant download file will include full color photos, full sized pattern pieces and directions. Just print and sew!
This pattern was specifically designed and tested on an WellieWishers™ doll made by American Girl®. My doll's waist measures approximately 6 inches. Please measure and test the fit on your own doll as there are many different dolls on the market and it may not fit the same on all of them. This Sunshine Dress pattern will fit on Hearts for Hearts dolls as well with minor adjustments to the back hook and loop tape placement.
Be sure to check out the other Sunshine Dress patterns for 18" dolls such as American Girl and Disney Animators' dolls.
