Today’s dress is a shorter variation on the Valentine’s Day dress that I made for my mini Elsa doll. Both dresses are gifts for my niece, who loves to play with her mini Anna and Elsa from Disney’s Frozen.
I made this dress in exactly the same steps that I made the dress for Elsa, so I’m going to connect you to that video tutorial below. But for this dress, you’ll want to cut the skirt portion at the shorter cut line on the pattern.
Also, please note that the dress fits a little longer on the Heart Family baby doll, Kelly dolls, and the Strawberry Shortcake toddler dolls. It fits Chelsea a little shorter than it does on Anna. This pattern will definitely fit the 5 and a half inch (13.5 cm) Anna dolls, as shown in the photo at the top of the page.
If you want to make this dress for your tiny Anna doll, you’ll need some cotton tiny-print fabric, a bit of 1/4 inch ribbon, and some size 4/0 Dritz snaps.
Which dolls will fit these doll clothes?
- Mattel’s Chelsea dolls (5.5 inches or 13.5 cm)
- Mattel’s Kelly dolls (4 inches or 10 cm)
- Mattel’s vintage Heart Family baby doll (4 inches tall)
- vintage Strawberry Shortcake 5 inch (13 cm) dolls
- vintage Strawberry Shortcake toddler dolls (4 inches or 10 cm tall)
- some dollhouse-sized dolls (1:12 scale)
- Disney’s Anna mini toddler dolls
