HH301 - 1913 Drop Waist Dress & Buttoned Bib Apron for 18" Dolls. The dolls' version of the girls' 1913 drop-waist dress pattern and the buttoned bib apron. The dress closes with velcro for easy on/off during play. Having the experience of sewing doll clothes can give you confidence when you begin sewing clothing for yourself. The patterns in the 18" dolls' collection are based closely on their girls' and women's counterparts and are a good starting place for an ambitious seamstress who loves vintage-style clothing but isn't ready to try a full-sized pattern.
