This is the bodice and sleeve pattern for making a pioneer-style or Victorian-era dress for Wellie Wishers and similar sized dolls (roughly 14 to 15 inches tall). The bodice and sleeve patterns are all marked with a "Creative Commons Attribution" symbol, and in the center of the pattern it also has a measurement tool. The measurement tool is used for comparing the printed pattern to a ruler or tape measure, to make sure you have printed your pattern accurately to scale. There's also a picture on the pattern. It shows an American Girl Wellie Wishers (Kendall) doll lifting up her skirt to show her dainty felt Victorian boots and her pretty lace-trimmed bloomers.

The Crissy family of dolls which includes dolls like vintage Crissy, Velvet, and other dolls, were produced by the Ideal Toy Corporation, which held the registered trademark for them. That company is no longer producing the dolls, and at the time of this blog post, no known company has purchased the trademark to re-produce these dolls. But if you wish to purchase one, you can sometimes find them on eBay (see link in the first set of bullets).

MGA Entertainment is the company that produced the BFC Ink dolls (which is pictured in my video as my niece, Emily), and it still holds the trademark rights to them (™). The BFC Ink dolls (aka Best Friends Club dolls) were in production, starting in 2009, but at the time of this blog post, they are no longer available in stores. You may be able to find a used one on eBay, though, if you’re thinking about collecting them (see link in the first set of bullets). These dolls can swap clothes with Crissy dolls, but their bodies are much more articulated. They have very lovely faces.
