The image shows a pair of Mary Jane -style shoes. There's a pair in Christmas red and white with a gingham lining in the sole of the shoe, and there's a pair in royal blue with a royal blue lining in the sole of the shoes. If you'd like the free printable PDF patterns for making these Maryjane shoes for your dolls, please click on the link in the caption. These Mary Jane shoes will fit dolls with foot measurements of 4 cm long by 2 cm wide or slightly smaller. I have found that the pattern works for Monster High dolls, Ever After High dolls, Moana 10 inch dolls, and DC Superhero girls dolls.
