I had so much fun making the flower girl dresses for Bonnie’s wedding. Her cousins all adore their American Girl
dolls, and I had some leftover fabric, so I thought it would be cute to make
matching dresses for their American Girl Dolls.
I used Kwik Sew Pattern 2921 for 18” dolls and the same
fabric I made the flower girl dresses out of. I also found some co-coordinating ribbon for the sashes.
To enable them to role-play being a flower girl, I found
some tiny baskets at World Market. JoAnn’s had tiny white sandals, so the
ensemble was just like what they’d have on wedding day!
I figured they could practice being a flower girl with their
dolls, and the older girls might even want to write a story about being in a
wedding in Charleston!
I had so much fun making these that I also made red, white
and blue dresses for them to wear at the 4th of July Low country
boil!
Using ribbons, tiny buttons, etc. pays off and really adds
to the whole miniature effect. I try to
make them easy for the girls to use with Velcro down the back, and I finish the
seams so the clothes are machine washable.
Pretty Darn Cute if I say so myself!
Well, the girls loved them and the dolls even came to the
rehearsal! Thanks Mom!
Oh my goodness! those are so sweet. You have one talented mama!
