I love this doll. Not only is she as cute as a button but her outfits are so quick and easy to make. The pattern for this dress has been borrowed from both my teddy bear dress and barbie dress (both on this site). The only thing I had to do was work out was the stitches for sizing etc and whether to copy the format of Ted's dress by doing the bodice first then attaching the skirt or starting fresh and simplify the pattern by starting at the neck and working down. I decided to try the neck down method, with the bodice done in dc (US sc) rounds and the skirt in an easy cluster pattern. The matching hat is worked from the crown down. As always if you find any mistakes or have any problems with this pattern please let me know.
