For Knits Circle Skirt pattern for a variety of dolls, and while doing so realized that a historically accurate set-in waistband didn't work for dolls with hard bodies and protruding bellies. After some experimentation, I did come up with a solution that satisfied me: a waistband that had a flat front for an authentic historical look, but an elasticized back for a good fit. I also realized that a simpler construction technique could be used and that the pattern draft also had the advantage of creating a universal fit for soft-bodied doll brands, whose lovable stuffed bodies can have widely varying measurements. Hence, the birth of the Elastic-Back Circle Skirt! The skirt features two lengths: a retro 1950's below-knee length and a modern above-the-knee length. And if you want your skirt just a bit shorter, simply cut off the hem allowance on the knee-length version of the pattern, cut your skirt out, and sew! A bonus petticoat is also included for dolls that enjoy fluff and frills. It's a fun and easy quick-sewing project, so your Gotz and Journey Girls dolls will be twirling around in their full skirts in no time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis PDF sewing pattern is designed to fit 18\" Journey Girls dolls and 19\" Gotz Hannah and Happy Kidz dolls as well as \u003cspan\u003eZwergnase Jr. dolls\u003c\/span\u003e.
