1830's Sarah Hale Dress 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

Love at first sight

The moment I saw this dress, I saw possibilities, especially for the bodice. The pattern was well done and easy to follow. I found it pretty easy to alter the pattern to add contrasting stripes to the bodice but I am an experienced sewer. The first one is for my niece but I plan on doing several more.

Terrific dress!

I love the historical details on this dress! It is an involved pattern but the result is worth it. Pay attention to the pictures and written directions and it will turn out well.
