OVERSIZED & SUPER PRETTY

7 different sizes – for all kinds of baby dolls

The babydoll dress is constructed around a short but extra wide bodice, with tapered sleeves. The skirt is a simple gathered rectangle and the whole dress drapes around your body like a dream. the sleeves are supposed to be a bit more fitted but still relaxed. You can easily size up for a comfy bit of extra ease

Beautiful Alla is wearing a size S throughout the pics ( but she could easily wear XS as well) She is 173 cm tall.

HOW MUCH FABRIC DO YOU NEED

for the baby doll dress? – good question!

For the original length which is around 100cm, you will need at least 3 m ( 3.3 yds) of fabric with a width of at least 150 cm (60″) for the larger sizes, the smaller sizes can get away with less.

this illustration shows the cutting lay out of the baby doll dress pattern. You will need around 3m (3.3yds) of fabric, with a width of 150 cm (60")
you can also place the pieces closer together and cut the back with extra CB seam allowance – placing the sleeve on the cross grain can also save a bit of length 😀

MATERIAL COICES – for baby doll dresses

which fabric do you want to use?

I recommend light fabrics that drape and fall. Linen, cotton & viscose work great with the pattern. Crêpe de chine, silk satin or georgette turn the baby doll dress into a glamorous party piece, try and experiment & share your version with me on IG !
