Pattern Overview
This doll dress patterns is perfect for a beginner and includes detailed step-by-step instructions and full size print-at-home pattern pieces.
This relaxed but stunning party dress can be made in 4 lengths (maxi, midi, knee, and a shorter above knee length) and in either woven or knit fabric.
The knit and woven versions each have slightly different instructions and pattern pieces. The knit version is more form fitting in its cut and just pulls on over the head. The woven version has more ease in the cut and has an invisible zipper in the side seam.
There are two styles to the back. You can either have it so the back is completely open to the waist, or stitched half way up the back and then open to the neck. The back then fastens with either a ribbon or a thread loop around a single button.
There is a lining option which is suitable for both knit and woven fabric. It lends itself perfectly to sheer fabrics, and lace or beaded overlays for that special look!
Doll Dress Patterns Fabric Requirements
The official fabric requirements are below, however please note that since the pattern pieces are small, most customers can fit this out of much less fabric (or even scraps!). We recommend printing your pattern pieces so you can see how big they are, and laying them out on your intended fabric to see how much they use.
