Size: Since my dress is totally improvised to fit my specific American Girl doll (originally Grace Thomas), you may need to adjust the pattern slightly to increase or decrease extra stitches, as not every American Girl doll is the same size (older dolls are more "chubby" and newer dolls are more skinny), and other 18" dolls may be slimmer/different shapes I use US Crochet terms: sc = single crochet (double in UK terms) dc = double crochet (treble in UK terms) ch = chain hdc = half double (half treble in UK terms) dec = decrease 2 stitches together to make 1 st inc = increase in 1 stitch to make 2 st in one stitch Yarn used: Paton Baby Aran in blue and Hook H / 5mm
Underdressing with casual daywear: Sundresses, casual jersey dresses, or relaxed cotton styles dont meet dressy casual standards
I decided to wear the buttons in the back so that I had a clean space upfront
Fall doesnt only bring cooler temperatures
I love digging out my sequin dresses and to shop new sparkling treasures
