Circle Skirt Overalls Pattern for A Girl For All Time and Starlette Dolls
One of my favorite childhood memories was playing “dress up” with the full-circle petticoat that my mother used to pouf the skirt of her ballerina-style wedding dress. It was a wonderful fantasy of crunchy net, organza, lace, and tulle, and it fell all the way to my ankles—except when I’d twirl around in it, which would make it stand straight out! This Forever 18 Inches pattern is a nod to those fun moments and a tribute to my mother, who I suspect kept the increasingly shabby petticoat far beyond its natural lifespan for my sake. I hope you enjoy creating your own interpretation, and perhaps giving another little girl the same sense of fun and fantasy play that I had.
The Option 1 Skirt Overalls feature a full circle skirt, lined bib, straps, a waistband that attaches with snaps in the back, and an optional front pocket. The Option 2 Bonus Variation is identical to Option 1, except that it has a gathered dirndl-style skirt instead of a full circle skirt.
