The image shows a 17 inch Gooliope Jellington doll from the Freak du Chic Monster High collection. She's seated between the branches of an apricot tree. She wears a hot pink sun dress with tiny pale pink and white flowers. She also wears turquoise blue Mary Jane style or patent leather style rubber shoes. Her feet are crossed at the ankles, like she's comfortably seated in the tree. One arm rests on a tree branch that reaches vertically upward. The other hand rests on a branch that is at more of a 45 degree angle. The leaves cast shadows on her pale pink skin and pink hair with streaks of golden hair throughout. Green leaves form a pretty summer background color to the whole photograph. In the lower left corner, the watermark reminds us to visit Chelly Wood dot com for free printable sewing patterns to make this dress and many other doll clothes.

Almost exactly one month ago, I gave you this same same pattern, but for a vintage Barbie doll. Imagine my surprise, when I discovered that it also fits Gooliope Jellington, the 17 inch Monster High doll from the Freak du Chic collection!

This tutorial is unlike some of the other sundress tutorials I’ve created because it’s designed to hide your gathers inside the bodice of the dress. This makes it a little more difficult than most of my other sundress patterns. That’s why it’s marked with four flowers.

If you’d like to learn how my flower-based difficulty scale works, please click on Helpful Tips and FAQ’s.

To make this doll dress, you will need cotton fabric and because of Gooliope‘s narrow body, I recommend using a 1/2 inch (10 mm) sew-on Velcro for the bodice’s closure, instead of the Dritz size 2/0 snaps we used for the Barbie version of this dress.

Would you like to know where I got her blue shoes? Believe it or not, I discovered that my 17 inch Gooliope doll actually fits into a pair of vintage Crissy doll shoes! How cool is that? Want to buy some for your own 17 inch Freak du Chic doll? Here’s a link to help you find them.

Please be aware that the Chelly Wood animated doll is a Spin Master Liv doll that has been re-painted and had its wig colored to appear to look like the real doll clothing designer, Chelly Wood. This was done as a creative project by Chelly’s daughters, and the Spin Master Toys and Games company was not involved in the doll’s makeover in any way.

Sindy dolls were originally created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys, but they have been made by other manufacturers including Hasbro, Vivid Imaginations, and New Moon. Currently (at the time of this blog post) a limited number of the newest version of these dolls is being manufactured by Kid Kreations of Staffordshire, England. I haven’t tried my doll clothes on this newer version, but sewists have told me my Tammy doll patterns do fit the vintage Sindy dolls created by Pedigree Dolls & Toys. Please visit one of these toy companies’ websites to learn more about the toys they produce.

Ideal Toy Company owned the registered trademark for the entire Tammy family of dolls, but that company is no longer in business. I’m including links to the Wikipedia pages on these topics for anyone who would like to research these dolls.

Gooliope Jellington and the Freak du Chic collection of Monster High dolls were produced and distributed by Mattel, who still owns the registered trademark for them. Please visit the Mattel Toys website to learn more about their company and its trademarked toys.
