Halloween Witch Costume | Maddie Rag Doll Outfit Pattern

Dress up Debbie Shore's Maddie rag doll toy in a witch outfit for Halloween.

Maddie is all dressed up and ready for a Halloween party! Maddie’s put on a beautiful dress with a faux waistcoat bodice that is laced up the front. I’ve chosen purple and lilac for her costume, but you could use any colour you like.

The netting on Maddie’s dress is optional. As it is added to the dress as a separate skirt, it can be repurposed as a ballet or fairy outfit too! I’ve also used some spare netting and felt to make Maddie some matching shoes.

If you don’t have poppers for the dress closure, you can easily use a narrow strip of hook-and-loop fastening instead.

Note: Use ¼in (5mm) seam allowances throughout.
