This Pattern Fits

American Girl, Australian Girl, Maplelea Girl, Our Generation, Gotz, many other 18 Inch dolls, as well as the 20 inch Australian Girl and 17 Inch Baby Born dolls (just shorten the hem 1 inch/2.5 cm for Baby Born).

“After completing Rosie’s Doll Clothes Course and several other of her patterns, I was ready for the next challenge. I was determined to give this pattern a try. Rosie’s clear video instructions taught me how to make and attach a collar, how to attach sleeves, and how to hem a circular skirt—all new techniques for me. Rosie even gave me the confidence to add lace trim to the sleeves and collar on my own. It turned out beautifully and is a perfect dress for my 50 year-old doll!”
