8617 [Vintage 1970] Pattern Description
Toddler baby doll top / dress Which view and size did you make?
Size 2, View 3 Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
This pattern went together really easily and quickly! No facings or other time consuming extra steps. Fabric used
Vintage woven cotton Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
I wanted this to fit like a dress rather then a top, so I added an inch in length and also added a 2 inch ruffle.
I also combined views a bit. I did a sleeveless version (view 3) but did buttons rather then lace (View 2). Very easy to mix and match with this pattern for lots of cute vintage combos! Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
