Free pattern: Chloe Dress for 18″ dolls

Rachael from Imagine Gnats shares a free pattern for her Chloe Dress for 18″ dolls. This is a basic short sleeve dress with a gathered skirt. You can make it up in different types of fabrics to get a range of looks. Make it from t-shirt knit for a casual dress, a quilting cotton for a sweet dress, or a dressy fabric for a fancy dress. Her pattern comes in two sizes, both to fit 18″ dolls. The larger size will fit American Girl dolls (and other dolls with larger chest measurement), and the smaller size fits Our Generation and Journey Girl dolls.
