Nick's Ribbon Shirt 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

2 reviews   |  

A dear friend of mine has the most beautiful dance regalia. One of the things he wears often for special occasions is his ribbon shirt. I asked if he would mind if I copy it for my boy doll, so here is my version of Nick's Ribbon Shirt. Although my friend only wears the head and knee bands for dancing, I included them in the pattern instructions.

Nick's Ribbon Shirt is a fun pattern to embellish so use your imagination. There is so much you can do with ribbons or other trims. Nick's original shirt was a plain blue so no worries about having Native fabric just let the ribbons or whatever trim you use be the decorations. One tester made the shirt in a flowered linen fabric and added lace to the sleeves at the cuffs for a beautiful girl's tunic….it was so cute. So please have fun with this pattern and enjoy!

This pattern by My AG Doll Creations is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
