This is an adorable off-shoulder party dress for your American Girl or 18” doll. The pattern uses easy stitches - single crochet, and double crochet. The dress closes in the back with 2 buttons. I used a satin ribbon around the waist, but feel free to crochet your own tie, or choose different ribbon materials to change the look of the dress. you will have fun choosing your own colors to make this sweet little dress to add to a your doll’s wardrobe.
