Helen Dress by Sally Robertson
Cream Fabric, Purple Beads, Purple Floss

This cream fabric has an all-over pattern of transparent flowers. The picture does not do justice to the smocking design. The purple floss is contrasted with tiny iridescent purple/blue beads that change color as your eyes move across the smocking.

Fabrics required:

• Dress 3/4 yd. of batiste or 5/8 yd. of broadcloth.

The model wearing this version of the Helen Dress is a Götz Doll©.

This smocked, beaded dress pattern fits 18" dolls (those with vinyl head, arms and legs and a cloth stuffed body) such as The American Girls Collection® by the Pleasant Company, Götz Dolls® (non-designer) and many others. The pattern was actually sized on The American Girls Collection®, Götz Dolls® (non-designer) and Dress Me Dolls© from The Martha Pullen Company (these dolls are the same size). The pattern will also fit the following dolls quite well: Faithful Friends Collection®, Tolly Girl®, Liberty Landing®, Girls on the Go®, Savannah of Storybook Heirlooms™, Laura Ashley®, Collector's Lane®, Creative Doll Company®, Springfield Collection®, Sophia's Heritage Collection®, Autumn Harvest™, Our Generation™ and miscellaneous composition and porcelain dolls. Since some dolls, such as Liberty Landing®, Autumn Harvest™ and Our Generation, are a little thinner, you may want to check the size of your doll and adjust the pattern slightly for a better fit.

Infinite Freedom and Sally Robertson are not associated with any of the above named dolls or companies in any way.
