Here an 18 inch doll models a 3-piece Halloween costume that looks like a donut over leggings and a shirt. She stand with hands held wide, emphasizing the round pillow shape of the donut she wears in front. Her legs are spread apart as well, pointing out the fact that her leggings are made of donut-decorated fabric. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in one corner.

I’ve been slowly building up the pieces for this whole entire donut Halloween costume for 18 inch dolls, and today I’m giving you all the parts and pieces in one place!

I’m so grateful to my cousin, who runs the YouTube channel, ASMR Tingle and Taps, for challenging me to create some Halloween-themed outfits for my 18 inch doll because this project has been so fun to make! If you enjoy listening to ASMR to relax or help you sleep, show my cousin some love and click here to follow her channel because in a sense, she brought this cute costume to you, by inspiring me!

An 18 inch doll (not an American Girl doll but a brand that looks a lot like American Girl dolls) models a Halloween costume that looks like a donut. The doll has platinum blond hair, a pink almost-smiling mouth, blue eyes, and bangs in front with very long hair in back. She wears the donut-shaped pillow like a sandwich board over a felt sleeveless shirt and leggings. She stands with feet together, and we can see that the donuts are made of cotton on one side and felt on another side, with some sort of filling that gives them a pillow-like appearance.

If you’d like to make today’s donut Halloween costume, you’ll need some size 1/0 Dritz snaps, some tan felt, some cotton fabric (as it says in the video, if you don’t have any candy sprinkles fabric, any pastel fabric with polka dots will work), and some regular craft felt to match your crop top with the straps.

You’ll also need a little bit of fiber fill (in the US, we sometimes call this “stuffing”) to make the donut-shape a little bit plush.

An 18 inch doll is walking along, in a room with a white floor and blue background. She wears leggings decorated with tiny donuts, a purple crop top, and a sandwich board in the shape of a donut. We see the doll from the side view, so we can clearly see the division line between the back and the front of each of the two donut pillows. She wears one donut pillow across her front, and the other donut pillow across her back. Each donut pillow is made of (bottom half or underside) brown or tan felt and (top or outer side) white cotton decorated with tiny candy sprinkles.

For the leggings, you’ll need jersey fabric, and any time I recommend using jersey fabric, I also recommend that you use a walking foot on your sewing machine, to make your life easier while you sew! Here are links to a walking foot for some of the common brands of sewing machines:

In addition to the jersey fabric, a walking foot, and some 3/8 inch braided elastic (for the casing of the leggings), there’s a large dart in the posterior part of the leggings, so it’s not a bad idea to have a fabric pencil for marking darts.

Here we see the items in a Halloween costume designed to fit 18 inch dolls, with each piece laid out on a table. On the left, the sandwich board of the donut shape lays flat, so we can easily see both donut "pillow" shapes attached by felt straps. On the right, at the top, we see a felt crop top with snaps as a closure. It's a sleeveless felt crop top in a light purple color. The leggings are just below the crop top. They are white with an elastic waist, and the jersey fabric of this pair of leggings has a light purple stripe running vertically through it. Dotted over the top of the white and light purple stripes are multicolored donuts painted on, with the images of boxes of donuts and coffee cups mixed among all the donuts.
