Please can someone tell me if they know where I can get a dressmaking pattern for a fairy dress for a 19" (approx) doll.
Love, Colleen x

Hello Colleen
I was looking too but for a 14 inch. HAving said that I am new to sewing, only learnt how to thread a machine a few months back! - Anyway I did think of just a simple bib shape but then petal shapes attached to a skirt rim, to make up a dress.

I haven't tried that yet, but there are some lovely fairy type dresses on one of our new member's contact web sites, she's called Jennie sew Happy (she has a post in new members. ) Jennie may be able to help direct you to wards some patterns maybe, or you may see a dress in there you like. I know I did, there were several in there that I could have bought or ammended slightly for mine.

If you have more luck than me with patterns, please would you share them with me? Thank you

Hi Gina thank you so much for your reply. I haven't sewn for a very long time - since my daughters were little but I thought I'd have a go at sewing a fairy dress if I could get the pattern. But your idea of converting a plain dress is a brilliant idea. Anyway I'll go and have a look for Jennie now, Ofcourse I'll tell you if I get any luck. Colleen x

Hi Colleen, just come across a thread on BEars / dolls for sale or trading in Chit Chat, it is by MB Solberg - it is the one half way down the page headed " Sold". If you look at the baby on the thread, the little girl, she has on a lovely outfit, a lot like a fairy gown really, it looks simple to make.

I've almost finished with my fairy doll now, but I am unhappy with her dress. I would love to make something like the dress on this thread for her.

Also Colleen, have you any thoughts about whether to use fairy wings? I used the ones I had already but they are only 5 by 7 and seem a bit small. I think I will have to learn how to use my sewing machine more!
