This charming dress fits the American Girl Doll or similar 18” dolls. It features a classic pleated skirt and sporty raglan-style sleeves. As you can see from the pictures, this dress can be knitted in a variety of yarns for different looks. In the version I describe here, I used Patons Lace self-striping yarn and Patons Lace Sequin yarn to add decorative accents, but this is optional.

The dress has a rear opening, going from the neck to the hip line. I used sew-on snaps. Buttons are another option.
