This outfit requires a regular sewing machine. You do not need an embroidery sewing machine. It would be nice to have a machine that does a few fancy stitches; however, even if you only have a zig-zag stitch on your machine you can still produce a stunning result.

The two heirloom techniques explored in this pattern are pintucks and (machine) smocking. The latter appears twice: as a display in the centre front, and as a subtle elastic effect on the sleeve. Easy back closures, the choice of a high or low neckline,  and the use of woven cotton fabric makes this dress a pleasure to sew and a stunner to wear.

This pattern is designed to fit 13-14.5 dolls like Wellie Wishers™, Hearts for Hearts™, and Les Cheries Corolle™. It s also available for 18 dolls such as American Girl®.

Recommended Fabrics: light-to-medium woven cotton fabrics like lawn, batiste, linen, voile, quilting cotton.
