Description

The Elastic-Back Circle Skirt Pattern, by Forever 18 Inches, was originally created because I wanted to adapt the NOT! For Knits Circle Skirt pattern for a variety of dolls, and while doing so realized that a historically accurate set-in waistband didn t work for dolls with hard bodies and protruding bellies. After some experimentation I did come up with a solution that satisfied me: a waistband that had a flat front for an authentic historical look, but an elasticized back for a good fit. I also realized that a simpler construction technique could be used, and that the pattern draft also had the advantage of creating a universal fit for soft-bodied doll brands, whose lovable stuffed bodies can have widely varying measurements. Hence, the birth of the Elastic-Back Circle Skirt!

The skirt features two lengths: a retro 1950 s below-knee length and a modern above-the-knee length. An option for an attached petticoat is also included. Little hands will be able to dress their doll independently without closures and never have to hunt for a lost petticoat! The skirt is also a great choice for newer seamstresses and craft fair sellers because of its simplicity, universal fit, and quick construction. And of course, historical purists and older children can always choose the option of the original NOT! For Knits Circle Skirt for an authentic miniaturized version of a classic circle skirt, a separate petticoat, and a skirt with a contemporary exposed elastic waistband!

This pattern is also available for 18 Journey Girls® and 19 Gotz® dolls, as well as Kidz N Cats® dolls.
