Description

Your doll will get plenty of attention wearing this sleek and sophisticated swimsuit we’re calling the Peppermint Twist. The unique twist and halter neck creates an elegant silhouette that is complimentary on the 18-inch doll. Add the simple sarong wrap, choosing from 4 lengths, and go from a sassy-short daytime look to a long-classy version for evening. The swimsuit uses a swim lingerie hook or snap closure at the neck and a small amount of fold over elastic or ¼” elastic at the low back. The twist is perfect for solid colored fabrics with a pop of color added at the wrap skirt. Or experiment with just the right combination of print fabrics that you love. Quality swim fabrics will work best for this suit with light and airy fabrics for the sarong wrap. This PDF pattern is for intermediate sewing skills.  

Recommended Fabrics:  Swimsuit: 4-way stretch, such as swim fabrics with, spandex, lycra and or nylon Sarong Wrap:polyester, chiffon, stretch mesh (fabrics that drape and have only a slight stretch) If using stretchy swim fabric, some adjustments will be required.
