This is a front-view image of Ideal Pepper, wearing an orange summer top (sleeveless) over a pair of cargo pants made of black Halloween fabric. The pants' fabric has a 1960's retro design with tiny Halloween pumpkins, bits of wrapped candy, and retro stars along with mid-century modern style lines connecting dots. The pockets on the sides of the cargo pants are orange. The patterns for sewing these doll clothes (for Ideal Pepper, Tammy's little sister or Pedigree Patch, Sindy's little sister) can be found at ChellyWood.com

This Halloween cropped tank top and retro-style Halloween cargo pants outfit was first posted, here on ChellyWood.com, to fit the Creatable World dolls. I’ve also found that it fits many other dolls too. Scroll down to see a full list of all the dolls that can wear this outfit.

But today’s blog post shows that it fits the Ideal Pepper doll, which is the little sister of Ideal Tammy. As such, it will very likely also fit Pedigree Patch, Sindy’s little sister.

Ideal pepper stands with her feet together, but facing somewhat to the viewer's right. She wears her little orange swingy Halloween summer top over her black cotton Halloween pants with the cargo pocket. In this stance, we can easily see the bright orange pocket on the right leg of her cargo pants. It's perfectly aligned with her hand, so the doll can actually put her hand in her pants pocket! Ideal Pepper models these pants, but Pedigree Patch could also wear them, as Pepper and Patch are nearly identical dolls in design.

You’ll find that the pants pattern is included with the crop top pattern, and I just love how nicely Pepper’s little hand can actually fit in the pants pocket!

But in the image below, you can also see that the pants are just a wee bit too long. If I were going to make them again, I’d alter the pattern so they’re about 1/4 inch or 6 mm shorter. If you need help with alterations, please scroll down to the very bottom of this blog post, where I talk about my class in doll clothes sewing alterations.

In this close-up image, a Pepper doll from Ideal Toy Corp. has her hand inside her little orange cargo pants pocket, demonstrating that if positioned correctly when sewn, the doll's hand can actually fit inside the pocket of her Halloween retro cargo pants. It should be noted, however, that the bottom of her pant leg appears somewhat wrinkled, as if the pants are just a little too long for the doll. The ChellyWood.com logo appears in the corner.

I used a strip of 3/4 inch wide Velcro cut in half down the middle (cut vertically, down the middle of the long strip) for my back closure on the swingy summer shirt.

The pants are made of Halloween print fabric, but you could easily make them from stretch denim or solid cotton fabric. They use 1/8 inch wide elastic from Elastic by the Yard for the waist.

The shirt is made of solid cotton, and as I said, you’ll need some sew-on Velcro for your closure.

An Ideal Pepper doll walks in a marching stance as she parades around in her orange Halloween crop top tank top (a swingy style vest, if you're in the United Kingdom) and a pair of black cotton cargo pants. The black cotton of the cargo pants is printed with tiny grey candies, orange pumpkins, colorful dots, and retro style stars. Her shoes are black to match the pants. We see a bright orange patch pocket on the right side pant leg, the way cargo pants have pockets along the thigh area.
