Anita Dress 14.5-15" Doll Clothes Pattern

Anita dress for RRFF DOLLS

The pattern fit together perfectly. It took no time at all to sew up. However it was a bit snug over the largest part of hip. I may cut it a little bigger over that area, otherwise I love this pattern. Can’t wait to make another. Thanks Love from Lola

Well designed

I had to make some pretty extensive modifications to the pattern to make it fit my daughter's Baby Alive-sized doll (which I knew I would), and I removed the collar and the center pleat to better match her own school uniform dress, but the design of the pattern worked well and the instructions were very easy to follow. Aside from the inherent struggle which princess seams always are, I would rate the difficulty level lower than intermediate. Confident Beginner if you're okay with the curved princess seams would be fine IMO. The seams are mostly all encased, which is great for a child, the instructions are clear, and I will definitely consider this designer in future. Note: The dress is fairly slim-cut. I was combining two 14-inch doll patterns for my project, and this one was a good 1/2" tighter in the bodice overall than the other I was working from, though both were sold for the same 14-15" dolls (by different designers). (I needed the looser, shorter bodice from the other designer for the Baby Alive body type.) Just something to keep in mind if you have a fatter cloth bodied doll, you may need to add a little in the seams.
