Miss Junior High 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

An adorable and versatile dress, by Little Miss Muffett, made to look like a blouse and knife-pleated skirt is the perfect outfit for your 18” miss as she starts the new school year. The ‘blouse’ has the option of short puffed sleeves for warm days, or for cooler days, add long t-shirt knit sleeves for a cute layered look and for fun, attach a small design accent strip on the sleeve cuff. The pretty round collar has tapered ends at centre front and is finished off with an optional bow. The dress closes in back with hook and loop tape. This relatively easy pattern is designed to fit 18” soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®. This pattern is also available for 14.5" dolls such as WellieWishers™.
