I have my friend Jeretta to thank for this panties pattern that I’ve recently discovered will fit my 8 inch Vogue Ginny doll, so THANK YOU JERETTA!
It was Jeretta who asked me, quite some time ago, to design some doll clothes patterns for her 6 inch Mini American Girl doll, and I designed a selection of doll clothes for those little cuties.
The panties pattern, I discovered, would fit a number of dolls, though, and today I’m sharing it with you for vintage Vogue Ginny dolls.
If you’re interested in making the T-shirt too, click here to navigate over to that pattern. For today’s blog post, I only put the T-shirt on Ginny to keep her looking prim and proper in her little panties!
To make today’s panties, you’ll want some Jersey fabric with elastic in it. In fact, I recommend recycling a pair of old underpants with the elastic already embedded in the fabric.
You can also cut your panties pattern out of the top of an unmatched sock for this project, but it’s best to use a sock that’s made of thin jersey fabric.
Today’s underpants pattern will fit these dolls*:
- Skipper dolls
- Disney’s 10 inch Moana dolls
- Creatable World dolls
- vintage Vogue Ginny 8 inch (20 cm) dolls
- 6 inch American Girl mini dolls

Are you wishing you had an underpants pattern for a little bit bigger doll? Re-sizing a pattern is one of the things my paid course teaches you: “How to Alter Doll Clothes Patterns.” So please consider signing up for my paid course, if that sounds interesting to you.
Here, for example, is a photo of my vintage Velvet 15 inch doll wearing the same underpants pattern, re-sized:

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 the Velvet dolls. But if you wish to purchase one, you can sometimes find them on eBay (here’s a link).
At the time of this blog post, the Vogue Ginny doll is no longer made, and there is not a working trademark for these dolls. If anyone knows additional information about these dolls and their current status, please leave a comment below. I’d love to learn more about the company and its dolls, but as they went out of production prior to the popularity of the internet, there’s not much to learn about them online.
