Winner’s Circle, by Karen Lorraine Design, consists of a lined Dress and a fancy Picture Hat that together create a chic outfit. Style line darts on the Dress allow for an attractive fitted shape, while an easy-opening back is ideal for children’s hands. There are three layers of petal ruffles on the sleeves (which can be lined or unlined) and a little puff at each sleevehead. The Picture Hat has a soft lined interior and can be interfaced if desired (- I have). Embellishments added to the Dress and Hat such as ribbons, trim, and beadwork finish off a winning set so your doll is ready for any classy occasion.
This PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
