As you can see in the video above and the photo below, today I’m sharing a brand new pattern and tutorial video, for making a play dress to fit 5 inch to 6 inch dolls, like Disney’s Mini Elsa.
Please note that the skirt of the dress fits a little too long on some dolls (like Anna and Chelsea) and a little bit shorter on other dolls (like the Lottie doll), which is shown in the video at the top of this page.
You may recall that at the start of January, I made a New Year’s goal to create galleries of doll clothes for Mini Elsa (along with a few other dolls), since my niece, Emily, had told me that her Disney’s Mini Elsa Toddler doll only had one pajama outfit to wear and no play clothes. Well, today’s blog post demonstrates that I can make good on my New Year’s resolutions!
I hope you’ll join me in making this really cute dress for the “tiny doll” fan in your family! I used Valentine’s Day printed fabric for mine, and I think it turned out pretty cute.
If you want to make this dress for your tiny doll, you’ll need some cotton tiny-print fabric, a bit of velvet ribbon, and some size 4/0 Dritz snaps.
Which dolls will fit these doll clothes?
- Disney’s Anna mini toddler dolls
- Disney’s Elsa mini toddler dolls
- Mattel’s Chelsea dolls (5.5 inches or 13.5 cm)
- 6.75 inch Strawberry Shortcake dolls (17 cm)
- some dollhouse-sized dolls (1:12 scale)
- 7 inch Lottie dolls
