Pintucks and Lace 18″ Doll Clothes Pattern
Pintucks and lace are oh so feminine. Inspired by the forties and fifties, the fine details take a plain white dress and make it special. In white, it’s perfect for a wedding or a First Holy Communion. Use a floral print and it becomes a bridesmaid or everyday dress. Create a maxi with a soft Dotted Swiss for a flower power outfit.
The pattern features pintucks on the front bodice and a pleat for added fullness. Optional ribbon or fabric ties are included in the back. The bodice is fully lined with an attached slip. The Pintuck & Lace dress has short puff sleeves with a Hong Kong binding. Directions for making pintucks and lace insertion are included and the skirt pintucks can be left out. The dress can be made tea length or maxi length. Bonus directions are given for a bridal or communion veil.
