Maddie's Day Dress & Shoes

Learn how to make Maddie's first outfit!

I have used a sweet, ditsy-floral fabric for my dress (see how to make Maddie here), but this pattern would look lovely in other fabrics, too – why not try a faux tartan cotton, courduroy or even broderie anglaise?

Finished size: For fitting a 26in (66cm) doll.

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