The perfect Fall doll clothes outfit

There are lots of ways this is the perfect outfit.

  • Always free infinity scarf at doll dressmaking.teachable.com
  • Bonus leggings in knit or woven
  • Perfectly proportioned tunic dress

The infinity scarf is a free pattern from my Free Resources Library on doll dressmaking.teachable.com

The leggings are a narrower version of pull-on trousers that come as a bonus pattern in this outfit file.

The t-shirt tunic uses a t-shirt cut off above the waist. Just add a gathered skirt.

Good news for you is that you don't have to just think what a great outfit it is you can use this little collection of patterns to create your own doll outfits. 

One thing I love to do is think about how the garments I collect pictures of might be adjusted to look great as doll clothes. Mostly I use pictures of toddler clothes as inspiration but little girl clothes and even adult designs can be the perfect jumping off point to design a doll outfit. 

This simple collection of scarf, leggings and tunic provide a huge opportunity to be creative when you make your own doll outfits.

The outfit is a fun way to use holiday themes. Different printed and plain fabrics along with trims and motifs can be used to create a unique look for each outfit you make. 

Each item is quick and easy to make. If you make a plain tunic you can make several sets of leggings and scarves to dress it up.

  • Easy to make the tunic with t-shirt knit
  • Use your regular machine needle
  • Use a narrow zig zag stitch 

Don't be put off by the fact that the tunic has to be made from knit fabric. If you choose a t-shirt knit rather than a lycra stretch knit you can easily sew all the seams with your regular machine needle and a narrow zig zag stitch. If you want to use a multi way stretch knit you will need a stretch machine needle and still use a narrow zig zag stitch.

The stretchy scarf is a great head band too.

You can get the pattern collection for this outfit from my Etsy shop now.

Here are a couple of the outfits I put together.

The nordic print is from a cheap pair of child leggings that I got from Target.


This scarf and trousers are made from woven fabric




A cute motive can really dress it up. The heart is included in the pattern.
