This is a simple pattern using basic crochet stitches.
All designs have a back opening for an improved fit and to make it easier for children to dress their dolls.
I have also given instructions for 2 ways to make the back opening
Check tension as a small variation can make a big difference when making small items
The sleeves in 3 designs are crocheted into the neckline, but if you prefer work 7 chain instead and continue with pattern. Sleeves can be made up and sewn in when finishing the item.

Take care when embelishing the dresses, Do not use beads or other small items if giving to small children.

I made theses dresses for my youngest granddaughter who is ‘princess crazy’ at the moment!

Have fun
