Today’s pattern makes such a lovely little dress! But I’m also really excited about today’s tutorial, which will show you how to create a collar from bias tape, as well as how to stitch a 3-inch zipper into a doll’s dress.

Both the bias tape collar and the zipper are firsts for my website, so even if you’re not sewing for Lottie dolls, you may learn a lot by watching today’s tutorial.

In this photograph, a Lottie doll (made by Arklu) wears a handmade yellow dress with a black collar, a full skirt, and black very short sleeves. The yellow cotton fabric of the dress appears to have teeny-tiny little black and white dots decorating the marigold yellow fabric. The doll's shoes appear to be black flats. The Lottie doll has long brown hair with bangs. She stands before a light blue background, on a white flat surface. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in one corner of the photo.

For this pretty little dress project, you’ll need some small print cotton fabric , a 3-inch zipper, and either 1/2 inch bias tape that’s not folded or 1/4 inch folded bias tape.

Please note: you may want some tulle, as well, which will make your skirt very full. However this is optional.

Today’s pattern will fit these dolls:

Here we see a dress pattern, which includes two parts for the bodice, a single skirt piece (which instructs to be cut on the fold), and two different lengths of sleeves. The pattern is shown on two different dolls: a Breyer Rider and a Kuu Kuu Harajuku G doll. It can also fit Monster High, Ever After High, and a number of other small-bodied dolls. The pattern is marked with Creative Commons Attribution symbols and the Chelly Wood dot com logo.
