Measuring Correctly: 18-inch Doll Clothing Patterns
This article is so helpful!!
Doll clothes patterns can be adjusted before cutting, to ensure a perfect fit for a variety of dolls. You can easily see size differences by comparing the measurements of three popular 18-inch dolls:
Madame Alexander ‘Girlz’
American Girl Dolls
Gotz ‘Precious Day Collection’
The lines drawn on the dolls in the photo below show exactly where to measure your dolls.
Bust
and Shoulders: One obvious difference among the three dolls is the bust
measurement, which is quite a bit larger on the Gotz doll. But, her
larger bust line is really caused by the width of her shoulders. The
distance around her shoulders is a full inch larger than the American
Girl doll… and 1-5/8 inches larger than the Madame Alexander doll.
Sleeve Length: The Madame Alexander doll has slightly longer arms, but because her shoulders are narrower, her sleeve length is almost identical to the American Girl doll. And, don’t forget the Gotz doll’s wide shoulders. Even though the Gotz arms are the same length as the American Girl, you have to increase her sleeve length if you don’t increase the width of the shoulders on the doll clothes patterns. The American Girl doll has bigger hips and a more rounded bottom. She also has a shorter, thicker neck than the other dolls. When you’re making tight pants or boots, remember the Gotz doll has larger, 5-1/2 inch calves. (Although it’s not shown here, the older American Girl dolls also have 5-1/2 inch calves.) All the dolls’ heads and feet are almost identical in size. Their inseams are similar enough to make their pant lengths the same.
So, even if you’re sewing for just one doll, always measure your doll. Then, measure the doll clothes patterns and
compare each area. If you’re making doll clothes to sell, or if you own
several different 18-inch dolls, you’ll need to make a few alterations
so the clothes will fit all the various dolls. Begin by using this
chart.
For all of the dolls to wear the same clothes, cut the doll clothes patterns large enough to fit the biggest measurement in each body area. For example, make sure the bust fits a doll that measures 12-1/8 inches; the waist 10-1/2 inches; and the hips 12-1/4 inches. Remember to add a small amount to each measurement for ‘ease,’ unless you want the dolls’ clothes to be skin-tight.

Chellywood.com has patterns for strawberry shortcake, and other tiny dolls
DeleteIt seems like all the free patterns are for 18" AG or Barbie. I am needing patterns for 23" Saucy Walker from the 50's for my doll.
ReplyDeleteHello, Could anyone help me find a free pattern for PJs for The 18" Truly Me boy doll? Thank you for your time!
ReplyDeleteHi Robin, Any 18" elastic waist pant and button down shirt or t-shirt pattern will work for AG boy PJs. All you need is to select a fabric of your choice. Have fun
DeleteGracias, gracias, gracias, gracias! Poca gente publica tantos patrones tan bonitos. Los adaptare, y usaré para mis nenuco, aunque no lo crean, se puede muy bien
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!

You can use old shirts or scarves to practice. You can re-use the elastic in unworn clothes. Books at your local library can help or Youtube tutorials.
Thanks so much for these, I am a beginner to sewing and these little tips and articles are so helpful. The clothes are absolutely adorable

ReplyDeleteHow do I print these patterns? They are awesome
ReplyDeleteRight click your mouse to download onto your computer.
DeleteAfter downloading the AG doll patterns (the original ones), I am unable to open them with Adobe Acrobat. I had tried previously to open the same patterns that I downloaded from a different website with the same result. Anyone else tried to open them? My computer message is that possibly the files are corrupt. Any suggestions? TIA
