Size: Since my dress is totally improvised to fit my specific American Girl doll (originally Grace Thomas), you may need to adjust the pattern slightly to increase or decrease extra stitches, as not every American Girl doll is the same size (older dolls are more "chubby" and newer dolls are more skinny), and other 18" dolls may be slimmer/different shapes I use US Crochet terms: sc = single crochet (double in UK terms) dc = double crochet (treble in UK terms) ch = chain hdc = half double (half treble in UK terms) dec = decrease 2 stitches together to make 1 st inc = increase in 1 stitch to make 2 st in one stitch Yarn used: Paton Baby Aran in blue and Hook H / 5mm
This style of dress is also great for hiding any problem areas, such as a tummy or hips that have developed more curves over the years
Any fashionable prom attendee in the 80s purchased a pair of shoes dyed to match the dress
My only real complaint here is that this stuff is sort of like a simplified ranch so while it is good, there are very similar, better options out there (like an actually good ranch, for example)
If youre unsure, go for slimmer shoes
