Formal Suit - Jacket and Pants Multi-sized Pattern for Regular and Slim 18" Boy Dolls

The suit is a traditional form of men's formal clothes in the Western world and has been around for about four hundred years as a suit of a matching coat, trousers and waistcoat. After the end of the first World War, most men adopted the short lounge coated suit. During the decades that followed, the size of the lapel had changed from wide to a very narrow size. Suit jackets were also cut as straight as possible without any indication of a waistline. Lately, the wearing of suits has become far less common than it once was and is now usually reserved for formal and business activities.This PDF sewing pattern includes photographic sewing instructions to make a Formal Suit with a Jacket and Pleated Pants and all pattern components come in two sizes: ~ Sized to fit 18 inch larger dolls such as American Girl® and~ Sized to fit the 18" slim Carpatina or Kidz n Cats Dolls Recommended Fabrics: Fine wool, cotton, linen Supplies Needed: - 3/4 yard main fabric - 3 Snaps or buttons for closure- M
