This simple but cute dress suits any doll. The dress has a very open bodice with a slit in the front, a fastener at the back and a mini frill skirt.
The dress is made very simply, the skirt frills are crocheted in the process of crocheting the skirt. The top frill is made separately and attached to the bodice with a crochet hook. Only the snap buttons are sewn with a needle.
The pattern is available for 13 ‘’, 15 ‘’ and 18 ‘’ dolls and contains guidelines that allow to change this pattern for any doll size.
