1850's Day Dress 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

1850’s Day Dress

The pattern is fabulous. I am delighted with the finished dress. Although I have sewn off and on my whole life, I found several parts of the instructions confusing.

1850's day dress--love it!

As always, Thimbles and Acorns makes me (and my dolls) look good. I love her "it's all in the details" hints. This pattern is special because of those shirred sleeves. I just have to save Shari's styles for when I feel like I want to take my time, to do the pattern justice. This designer is a treasure!

My favorite so far

I love the style of this pattern and it looks great all made up. There is one error, however. It is missing the written instruction to cut off 1/2 inch of the skirt facing from the proper left. Totally confused me until I really studied the illustrations. But, I have made two of them so far and they look fantastic.
