In this photo, an Elsa Disney Princess Toddler doll models a handmade tank top and a handmade elastic waist skirt with silver rickrack trim over the top of lace trim, both of which run along the hemline of the skirt. The doll also models a pair of pink handmade slippers or sandals. The doll faces forward. The fabric of her little cotton tank top is designed with 1970s style flowers and the colors pink, turquoise blue, and lime green. The doll faces forward with her hands at her sides. Her loving eyes look directly at you with a subtle smile on her child-like face. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the lower left corner of the image.

Today’s skirt and sleeveless summer top doll clothes project will not only fits the Disney Animators toddler dolls (13 inches tall), but many other dolls in a similar size range, including Wellie Wishers. It will even fit the 17 inch Velvet and 18 inch Crissy dolls from the 1970’s.

Check out the first set of bullets, below, for a full list of all the dolls that can wear these doll clothes.

To make today’s skirt project, you may want to buy some retro small-print fabric, some elastic for your casing, lace and ribbon trim, and Wright’s metallic baby rickrack trim.

An Elsa Disney Princess Toddler doll appears to be mid-stride as she walks to the left of the viewer in a room with a purple wall and a wooden floor. The doll wears a strappy tank top made of floral cotton fabric. Her handmade skirt is made of the same floral cotton fabric. With the doll in a walking pose, we can clearly tell that she wears a pair of sandals made of a pink ribbon that forms a single strap, wrapping around the toe area of her foot and attaching to the pink foam (on top) and the black foam (on the bottom) that forms the soles of her sandals. The doll's underarm is also slightly exposed, showing that the sleeves for this tank top are easy to put the doll's hands through.

I used Velcro at the back of my sleeveless summer top, but of course, you could use snaps. I recommend size 2/0 Dritz snaps for this size doll.

This is a photo of a Disney Princess Toddler "Elsa" doll wearing handmade doll clothes.

The image shows a printable rectangular skirt pattern for dolls that measure 14 inches, 15 inches, or 16 inches tall. This skirt pattern is called the "short schoolgirl pattern" for dolls, and it's one of two patterns that have been designed to fit any number of different dolls that range in size between the American Girl company's Wellie Wisher doll size and the Hearts for Hearts girl dolls. There's a photograph of three different dolls wearing this skirt after it has been sewn using this sewing pattern for the "schoolgirls' short skirt": the Velvet doll from the Crissy doll line, the Consuelo doll from the Hearts4Hearts Girls, and Kendall from American Girl's Wellie Wisher line of dolls. This simple-to-sew elastic waist skirt pattern comes in two pieces which you must print, cut out, and tape together. This free pattern (pattern 1 from the two patterns required) also includes a pattern for making doll sandals to fit dolls in this 14" to 16" height range. The sandal measures 2 inches or 5 cm from heel to toe. It's one and one-quarter inches across at the widest point of the foot (3.2 cm). The sandal craft project uses black foam, another color of foam to form the sole, and either a ribbon or bias tape to form the strap. You could also use colored elastic to form the strap. This pattern is marked with "Creative Commons Attribution" which means you should acknowledge where the pattern came from if you wish to use it. The pattern also offers a watermark of the website ChellyWood.com, where you can also find tutorial videos showing you how to make the skirt and the sandals.
