long sleeve dress ruched Naia - Midnight Midnight Blue Ruched Jersey Midi Dress this maxi will become your go Stellaria Ruched Long Sleeve Mini

We love the bold look of the shimmering stockings paired with the glossy leather skirt

Embroidered floral lace covers the entire dress from the shoulders to the hem

Sew on the buttons on the back (alternatively you could have done "button loops" on both edges of the top and use a ribbon to tie it as "laces") Due to the tight nature of this dress design, your doll won't be able to sit in it, but she'll look super cute standing :) If you make this free crochet dress for your American Girl doll or other 18" doll, don't forget to tag me on Instagram : @craftsadore so I can see your makes :)

But if you want to get creative here are some ideas

Attach facings: Line the front of the dress and the front facing together
