This dress is modeled after the Little House on the Prairie dresses that the Ingalls girls wear. I made my own pattern for the top of the dress (and used it again for the apron). I sewed gathered rectangles of cloth and sleeves to the dress top to make it. I did the same with the apron, but without the sleeves.
The bonnet I found a human pattern for here, and printed it doll size. I also made a full sized one for myself for fun!
The back of the bonnet that covers the neck is a bit long on the doll, so eventually I’m going to shorten it.
Adorable! I love this 🙂
