Sorry it's so.. Bland and simple, but It's a little hard for me to create a pattern If I don't know what I'm doing. xD

So I'll give you some more instructions here, and how to use this photo... Uh.. If you download the PDF I have included within the download button- You should be able to print it at it's actual size.

Things to know: The thinner line is where you should cut the fabric... the thicker line is where the stitches should go.

But anyway. What I normally do is start with a quick trace of one of their actual clothes. When I first started, I used Frankie Stine's swimsuit as a basis for the pattern.

The top, as you see, should be cut out twice, and then stitched together, being careful not to stitch where the arms and neck go. I've marked them with perpendicular lines.

I suggest you stitch up one side first and then see if it will fit around the doll before stitching up the other side.

Then I cut the back and only the back in half, and attach the velcro/snaps.. whatever you wish.

Then I put it on the doll as a test, make adjustments, and then make the skirt.

I normally attach a strip of fabric, pleating it, so it has nice... well.. Pleats in it.

If you wish to have sleeves- I just normally draw sleeves onto the pattern and continue like that. It works for me...

More complicated patterns have a sleeve that is detached and you will have to ease it in...

You may want to take a look at these patterns, but they will require editing...

Sorry if this wasn't too much of a help. D:
