Size a human pattern for an 18 inch doll?
I have several dress patterns I would like to size down for a friends Amercian Girl Doll (18 inches tall), and I’m not sure how to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions or measurements? e.g., how much do I need to take in? The patterns are for varying measurements but if it will make it easier for you tell me and I will try and post them here.
Your best success will happen with a pattern for an 18″ doll dress. There are books containing several styles and the major pattern companies also offer them. I would hesitate to take a human dress pattern and try to resize it for a doll.
The porportions on the doll will be different than the human.
Have you looked at “simplicity.com” or “mccalls.com” for those patterns, Or maybe you could google “18″doll patterns”.
You could make a skirt without a pattern by measuring the doll’s waist and deciding on length finished and have one seam in the back open a couple inches with a snap at the waist. I have made those before but not a whole dress without using a pattern sized for these dolls.
