Here are instructions for making the
bodice on short sleeve dresses to fit 14 inch (30cm) Corolle
Calin and Tidoo, 13 inch
(32.5cm) Götz Muffin, Mini Bambina Patricia, and Corolle Classic 14 inch as shown in photo above with similar body types.
I’d like to point out that this doll
is leaning against the wall for support in standing because she has a soft
body. Here is a photo of her body: Her body measurements.
This is a very easy to make dress pattern with just 3 pieces - bodice
front, bodice back and skirt. The sleeves are part of the bodice.
The pattern grid is 1 inch (2.5cm) squares. Pattern pieces
include one quarter inch seam allowance.
You’ll need one quarter yard (one quarter meter) of material for the skirt.
For the front and back bodice, you'll need one quarter yard contrasting
material.
Also, for neckline facing, you'll need an 8 inch (20cm) long by one inch
(2.5cm) wide bias strip, and the same length of gathered lace for neckline.
Construction directions
Bodice with Sleeves
With right sides of back and front bodice facing, sew
together at shoulders. Press seam open.
Sew lace to right side of neckline. Using the bias strip sew one long edge to
right side of neckline over top of the lace trim. Clip curves. Fold bias strip
to inside of neckline, turning in once and blind stitch to wrong side of
neckline.
To finish back seam of bodice, turn in one quarter inch twice on each center
edge and hand or machine stitch.
Roll in lower edge of sleeves one quarter inch twice and hem by hand or
machine. (I sew sleeve and skirt hems by hand.)
Stitch front to back underarm seam on each side.
Skirt construction
For the skirt, cut fabric 22 inches (55cm) wide and 6 inches
(15cm) long.
Gather the waist seam to match the bodice lower edge and sew skirt to bodice.
Turn right side out. On outside topstitch just above waistline on bodice all
the way around.
Sew back seam of skirt leaving 2 inches (5cm) open at top of seam to match back
seam of bodice. Roll in raw edges and blind stitch. (This is for ease of
dressing doll.)
For skirt hem, turn up one half inch twice and blind stitch.
When dress is completed sew a velcro
dot just above waistline and at neckline to overlap bodice back one quarter
inch.
