Publisher's Synopsis
Fully illustrated in color, this 8-1/2"x11" booklet contains 24 pages of instructions and 8 pages of full size pattern pieces to fit your favorite 18" doll. This dress and blouse ensemble is inspired by a design from the1960s, but the classic A-Line can be worn today. The jumper has a wide boat neckline and princess seams in both the front and the back. The side pieces can be placed on the bias to highlight the flattering cut. View A has deep pleats on both the front and back and an accent "belt" anchored by button trim. The blouse has a softly rolled collar and long sleeves gathered into a cuff and closes in the back with either hook-and-loop or buttons. View B has accent piping to highlight the princess seams, and the pleats have been eliminated. An optional contrast belt fastened with buttons on the front give it a flattering fit.Supplies Needed: View A and B Dress/JumperMain Fabric - 1/3 yard cotton fabricLining - 3/8 yard thin cottonBlouseMain Fabric - 3/8 yard cotton fabricNotionsTwo 3/8" button for View A beltFive 1/2" buttons for dress or jumper closure OR 9" hook-and-loop.1/4 yard contrast fabric to make piping and belt OR36" purchased pipingscraps of light weight fusible interfacing (if using button closures)
