This party dress has been available on my website for some time now, and in fact, it’s one of the most popular patterns on my website! But in the past, I didn’t know how to convert my patterns into A4 printer paper patterns. (A4 patterns are the kind used by many of the world’s countries, including the United Kingdom.)
Lately, though, I’ve been trying to convert some of my most popular free patterns into A4 patterns, so people from any country in the world will have access to them!

In fact, the first set of bullets, below, lists all the dolls that will fit in this dress. I’ve tried the dress on each of them, and yes, it fits them!
