Turned out well!

For most part it was an easy pattern to sew. I've only made the doll version so far, and I had a really difficult time trying to turn those long, skinny straps right side out. In fact, I accidentally put a small hole in the fabric with my hemostats in the process. I'm sure this isn't nearly as difficult with the child size pattern, but in the future I will fold the straps like bias tape and top stitch them before attaching them to the bodice. The directions were pretty clear and overall I think it turned well. I made her a little matching scrunchie to go with it.

An ingenious design

I discovered Violette Field Threads when looking for dress patterns for my new baby. I’ve always had a love of dolls though so I was even more excited about the matching doll patterns! And I just happen to have 2 Our Generation dolls which I bought to make clothes for long before my little one came along. And this pattern has been just perfect for me to sew while my baby naps in the sling: quick, small and simple. It only took me about 3 hours to make and the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. The pattern went together perfectly and fits the doll very well. I really love the design and the interesting way it closes using the shoulder straps. The elastic at the back also makes it very easy to put onto the doll. I will definitely be purchasing some more patterns very soon (human and doll sizes) and have a feeling that these dolls are going to have quite an extensive wardrobe by the time my daughter is old enough to play with them!

Excellent free doll pattern!

I am pretty new to garment sewing, never made a doll dress before. This was a great pattern! The steps are very easy to follow with photographs. It took a little attention at the beginning to make sure I understood all the pieces that needed to be cut (since I was using material out of my scrap bin) but after that it was smooth sailing. The finished dress looks so professional and very cute on my 18" Cabbage Patch Doll! If I make it again I might try to make the back bodice a little bit wider so it fits over my dolls head (since the heads are bigger than American girl dolls) but the dress fits just fine going up from the feet.

Lola top

I really love the way the Lola top turned out. I put a pair of pants with ruffles on the hem in the contrasting fabric. I also made a purse with a ruffled edged. This is for my 8-year-old granddaughter.She is thrilled with her new doll's outfits. Thanks for the great patterns. I have bought a couple already and plan on buying more.

Lola Doll top

Very easy pattern and easy to modify for a 1950’s Madame Alexander baby doll. I just made the straps insert into the back bodice rather than tie, for ease in dressing.
