To measure for finished length, place the tape measure at the prominent bone at the base of the child's neck and measure down the back. Compare the chart measurement for finished length to see where the dress will come to on the child. The dress sizing is similar to that of retail stores, so order accordingly. If in doubt order larger. Remember the fit can be adjusted quite easily.

Sizing for Dolls
18" Doll dress fits the popular American Girl® Dolls from the Pleasant Co. as well as Gotz. The dress does not fit the 15" Bitty Baby® by Pleasant Co.

1. Cross one ribbon over the other. 2. Bring the ribbon you crossed over the front around to the back and go up. Now you have one ribbon UP and one ribbon DOWN. 3. Make your first "bunny ear" out of the BOTTOM ribbon. Keep it small.
4. Bring the UP ribbon down over your first loop and tuck it in behind to create your second "bunny ear". Keep this one small also. 5. Adjust the loops and pull tight. 6. Voile`, a perfect bow!
