Blouses that tie at the neckline are a wardrobe classic that advance and retreat in fashion cycles--usually with subtle changes in detail and proportion. The Tie Blouse pattern, by Forever 18 Inches, provides four different options to help your doll time travel through the late 1930s up to today. Details include a rounded hem, button-covered snaps, working ties, and options for short Bishop Sleeves, long sleeves, ruffled shoulders, and a sleeveless version. The ruffled sleeve cuffs are created with elastic for easy on-and-off dressing, and with so many options your doll can wear this blouse year-round!
