Swirl Maxi 18″ Doll Clothes Pattern
Groovy baby. This 1970s-inspired maxi skirt, by Genniewren Designs, is definitely in the running to be your doll’s favorite items of clothing this summer.
Does your doll want to pick shells on the beach? Or will she want to dance the night away at the disco or the big festival in the park? What about an evening relaxing at home with friends watching movies? Whatever your doll decides to do while she is wearing her Swirl Maxi skirt, you can be sure she is having fun as a fully paid-up member of the groovy crowd.
The Swirl Maxi is a fun casual skirt with an easy-fit elastic waist and a choice of a straight or hi-lo hemline You can make the Swirl Maxi in two or more colors and in solids, prints, plaids, spots or plains. You could even have each piece in a completely different fabric if you really want to drown in that Woodstock era hippy-style patchwork boho feeling. The choice is yours.
The bonus halter-neck bikini-style wrap top is the perfect partner to the skirt, with its cleverly-shaped cut echoing swirly lines of the skirt. The top is ideal for a beach outing or for evening wear under a lace shrug.
