My Sunshine Family “mom doll” is so adorable in my handmade “witchy” costume for Halloween! I just love this outfit on her!
And of course, this outfit will fit a bunch of different dolls in this size range, as you’ll see in the first bulleted section below.
To make this adorable outfit for you Sunshine Family collectible female dolls, you’ll need some cotton fabric for the dress. I used solid cotton for my sleeves and printed cotton for the hat and the main part of the dress.
Here’s a link to small-print cotton Halloween fabric in particular, if that’s what you’re looking for, but the dress would also look cute in any small-print cotton fabric.

I used some 1/2 inch Offray ribbon for the trim at the waistline and the hemline. Plus there’s a row of Dritz 3/0 snaps down the back, and you’ll want some craft foam for your witch hat.
The craft foam is what gives it that stiffness that you see in the photo below:

When you first download the hat pattern, you may think, “This can’t be the right pattern…” but, in fact, it is. I first used that pattern for two of the hats I designed for my stop-motion video, “Romeo and Juliet with Dolls.” Later, I adapted these hats’ patterns for making the witch hat.
Today’s free patterns will fit the following dolls:
- 8 inch Breyer Rider dolls
- Kuu Kuu Harajuku dolls (the dress but not the hat)
- Spin Master La Dee Da dolls (also fits the dress but not the hat)
- Disney 9 and a half inch fairy dolls like Tinkerbell
- Mattel’s 9 inch Stacie dolls
- Mattel’s vintage Skipper dolls
- Hasbro World of Love vintage dolls
- vintage Sunshine Family adult female dolls
- Mego 8-inch female action figures
- 7 inch Lottie dolls (the dress is a bit long on her)
