Scroll down to the second set of bullets for the free PDF sewing patterns and tutorial videos.
Today’s outfit not only fits the 14.5 inch Wellie Wisher dolls, but many other dolls in a similar size range. It will even fit the 17 inch Velvet and 18 inch Crissy dolls from the 1970’s, as you can see in both the skirt tutorial video and the images you see here, on this website.
To make today’s skirt project, you may want to buy some retro small-print fabric, some elastic for your casing, lace and ribbon trim, and Wright’s metallic baby rickrack trim.
Today’s free printable PDF skirt and shirt patterns will fit the following dolls:
- 13-inch dolls like the Disney Princess Toddler dolls
- 14-inch dolls like Hearts for Hearts Girls
- 15-inch dolls like Wellie Wishers from American Girl doll company
- 16-inch dolls like the Velvet doll from the Crissy family of dolls
- 18-inch dolls like vintage Crissy (you can see in the photo that the skirt is very short on her)

And finally, here are some images of today’s skirt patterns for easy-pinning on Pinterest:


For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Crissy doll, there’s a wonky knob in her back that is used to pull her hair inside her head and release the hair to make it “grow” long. Because of this knob, the shirt pattern does not fit her in the back like it fits some of the other dolls.
