One of my favorite dress patterns, the Sunshine Dress is not overly complicated to make, but still features lots of fun details, meant to portay the sun’s rays. Originally fitted for the Dotpebble’s Frog (you can find her pattern on etsy), this dress also suits many of her other creature dolls, and of course my own original Folklore dolls.

Dress features a Picot edge and ribbed texture. Pattern includes instructions for the picot edge, photos and written instructions.

Doll Information:
Pictured is the Dotpebble’s Frog doll knit with Garnstudio Drops Alpaca and 2.5mm (US 2) needles
