Prairie Ruffles Dress 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

Create a prairie dress for your 18" doll! This beautifully designed Keepers Dolly Duds doll clothes pattern includes two garments: dress and pinafore, designed to be worn layered together. The pinafore has a scooped neckline and a slightly higher waistline. A small little ruffle wraps the scooped neckline. The front placket sports a row of mini buttons.
