Christmas Dress | Maddie Rag Dolly Toy Outfit Pattern

Part of Debbie Shore's rag doll series, it's time to make a Christmas party outfit for your Maddie toy.

Every girl – and girl doll – needs a party frock, and Maddie is no exception. Made in festive fabric, this dress is perfect for Christmas, but if you use the same pattern to make more dresses in other fabrics as well, she’ll have something to wear for any smart occasion! You can also change the look of the dress by adding lace or trims to the hem, sleeves and/or neck edge.

Note: Use a ¼in (5mm) seam allowance throughout unless otherwise stated.
