Vintage 1950s Bride Wedding Dress Pattern ~ 14" Betsy McCall

Description

This is a PHOTOCOPY of a Vintage 1950s pattern to make doll clothes for your 14" tall Betsy McCall Doll. In addition, this pattern also fits other 14" tall dolls that have measurements that are similar to: 14" tall, 7-1/2" chest, 6-5/8" waist, and 8" hips.
This pattern makes three costumes for your Betsy McCall Doll: Wedding Outfit, Bridesmaid or Formal Dress and a Cape. The wedding outfit includes the dress, veil, bouquet, fancy slip and panties. The dress has a double layer of ruffles around the bottom edge. The slip has a matching set of ruffles and I think could be made into a sleeveless formal dress as well. The veil is attached to a crown of flowers, which match the bouquet. Panties are also included as part of the bridal outfit and they have leg ruffles, echoing the ruffles of the dress and slip. The Bridesmaid Outfit consists of a sleeveless dress and a petticoat or crinoline made from netting. The dress has repeating rows of ribbon and the same ribbon is used as straps for the dress. The Cape calls to be made from faux fur and ties at the neck. I include a color printout of the front cover, a black and white copy of the instructions, back cover and the complete pattern. Please email me with any questions that you have.

The Betsy McCall Doll started out as a paper doll character around 1951 to help sell sewing patterns. In 1952, the Ideal Company started making the Betsy McCall Doll as a 14" size doll. In 1957, the American Character Doll Company started manufacturing the dolls in 8", 14", 20", 22" 29/30" sizes. The Uneeda Company made a 11.5" tall Betsy McCall Doll as well. Betsy McCall was a hugely popular baby doll and was made for years and has made a new appearance now being manufactured by the Robert Tonner Company. Due to her popularity, patterns were made so that mothers and their daughters could make additional outfits for these darling dolls. The Betsy McCall doll was made several sizes by several companies. Patterns were made for her in sizes: 8", 11.5", 14" and 30" and I have a large assortment of these patterns available.
This pattern was originally created Jan 2, 1951. The copyright for this pattern has expired and it entered the public domain Jan 1, 1980.
