Way back when I made an adorable dress for an 18" doll and vowed I'd never do it again. It was like doing a child's dress in miniature and I'm not very good at miniature sewing. Are there easier patterns out there today? BTW, I still have that dress I made somewhere in my attic, couldn't part with it after putting all that work into it. LOL I actually planned on framing it but never got that far. LOL I'd have given it to my then very young DGD but she loved all things boy so didn't play with dolls. Now she's a 17 year old very girlie girl. Maybe she'd like a collection of dolls now, who knows?
