Now you can transform your 18-inch doll into her favorite frozen snow queen with this gorgeous dress pattern! This PDF pattern by Dollhouse Designs will help you create a beautiful long dress and bodice with an attached train. The long sleeves in this dress will end in elegant points over your doll's hands. The 5-gored skirt can be made with or without the side slit. The skirt of the dress is extra long in the back, forming a beautiful long train behind her. The dress opens in the back and the bodice opens on one side. Make the top with sheer mesh knit or use an optional woven version. You can make this dress as grand or as simple as you like!
