Mori Girl Collared Dress for 18 inch dolls

(1 customer review)

$4.99

This digital doll clothes pattern will let you sew a dress and skirt for a Mori Girl outfit or make a stylish every day dress for your 18 inch doll.

If you see a girl that looks as though she is a fairy tale forest dweller who has just stepped out of an enchanted wood, chances are good you’ve spotted a Mori Girl.  Born in Japan as a subculture, Mori Girl style embodies living in the moment and living in harmony with nature.

Mori (meaning forest) Girl style is all about natural fibres and colours from nature – creams, browns, greens and autumnal oranges, reds and yellows.  The style also favours a lot of layering.  This dress can be used as a ‘foundation layer’ for Mori Girl style, but also works as a cute, everyday dress.

You can choose to line your dress or make it with facings.  The lined version can be made as a reversible dress.  Two looks in one!  This dress also works well in 1960’s prints.  Make it Mod!
