These are dresses I made to fit an American Girl Doll or other 18" doll. They are made from satin leftover from dance revue costumes. The dark pink one is trimmed with lace and has a little cameo button. The light pink one is trimmed with ribbon with tiny little flowers. Both have velcro on the back to make getting it on and off easier.
