In the bullets below, you’ll find my free printable PDF sewing pattern and a link to an older tutorial video for making the dress shown in the image at the top of the page:
- Free printable sewing pattern for Valentine’s Day dresses to fit 11.5-inch fashion dolls.
- Video tutorial showing how to make the dress shown in the image above (a different doll is shown in that video, but the steps to creating this dress are exactly the same)
The tutorial video shows a plaid version of this dress, which has been very popular on my website:
Due to its popularity, I thought I’d sew another version of it, to demonstrate how pretty the same dress would be in a floral stripe pattern.
And I’m very happy with how it turned out!
The doll pictured in the image at the very top of this page is a Queens of Africa doll. You can learn more about these lovely dolls at https://queensofafricadolls.com/
The Queens of Africa dolls were designed by Taofick Okoya.

Because you took the time to leave a comment, I went back to the YouTube video and investigated. And I discovered that the link I put in the description below the video was, indeed, the wrong link! So thank you for taking the time to point this out. You saved me (and other folks) a lot of trouble by pointing out the error.
I’m glad you’re enjoying my patterns!
