Bluebelle Dress 18" Doll Clothes

Bluebelle Dress

Just finished making this for the first time, and I’m totally in love! Melody Valerie patterns are carefully designed with advanced techniques that are definitely not for the beginner, but are a really fun challenge when you want something a little bit different. I love the details of the split collar, the tulip sleeves, the front placket, and the contrasting scalloped hem. The directions are very clear with well done photos to demonstrate details. Several reviews mentioned it being too small … while the bodice is fitted, with careful sewing I didn’t find it tight at all. Definitely will be making this one again!
