Party Time - dress, party hat and gift bag pattern
Take your dolls to a birthday party. Or host one!
This collection includes patterns for:
- the fancy party dress with rickrack trim on the sleeves and hem
- an easy polkadot party hat
- a cute kitty gift bag - just the right size to hold a real-life gift card, some candy, or another small gift.
Please note - this pattern is just for the outfit and accessories. None of the dolls you see in the photos are included. All the Dress Up Bunch dolls (except Mini Lizzie) can wear all of the Dress Up Bunch outfits and accessories.
This is exclusively available as a PDF pattern, delivered instantly and ready to print onto letter-size paper. No shipping costs and no waiting!

Size
Fits all Dress Up Bunch dolls (dolls are 17 inches tall)
Difficulty
Easy! No special skills needed. Folding and pressing the pleats on the skirt takes a fair bit of time, but it's all straight lines. Not hard.

Talk to Me
If you're hiring out any part of the process, please get in touch and we'll work out a fair licensing agreement.
For example, if you want to hire someone to machine embroider the faces, or do all the stuffing for you, those two scenarios would require a licensing agreement. Get in touch! I'm easy to talk to. :-) smile@shinyhappyworld.com
