American Girl Doll Wildflower Dress with Ruffles and Drawstring Handba
Free Doll Dress and Bag Crochet Pattern
I wanted to make a summer outfit that was a bit dressier. Something a doll could wear for an evening out, but at the same time casual enough for walking around town. This wildflower dress and handbag combo is the result.
The dress is about knee-length and features a back button closure. I used a drawstring to cinch the waist. The skirt features 3 sets of ruffles in pink, purple and red. I used small crochet flowers to decorate the chest. The dress is worked top down in one piece, the bodice is worked in rows with the opening on the back, the skirt is worked in rounds. The ruffles are worked later using the surface crochet method.
The handbag features a drawstring closure and a flower on the side to complete the wildflower theme.
