Step it Up Series: Make a Gabby Gabby Inspired Doll Dress

Have you seen Toy Story 4 yet? There is a new doll character in the movie, Gabby Gabby, and she has red hair and wears a yellow polka dot dress. Like a few other inspired seamstresses on the net, I wanted to try to make a Gabby Gabby inspired dress for 18 inch dolls. Here are the ones I came up with. How did I do?

Make a Gabby Gabby doll dress for 18 inch dolls

Use OSK sewing patterns to make a Gabby Gabby look alike dress for your doll

In the photos below, Blaire and Maryellen are both wearing the same dress. I used the Sugar n Spice Dress– the pinafore cutting lines to make the dress. I drew out a collar pieces, and attached it before I sewed the bodice pieces together at the neckline. Add a white waistband and attach a button placket and it looks pretty close to the original.

You could also use the Spring Shine dress pattern as well, making the same alterations. Originally I planned to put a white “slip” trimmed with lace underneath, but in the end, I just added the lace right to the hem. (For those of you too young to remember, girls used to wear a fluffy skirt underneath their dresses, usually made of white with lace trim, to make their dresses stick out in a pretty way.)

If I am going to cut one, then I may as well cut two. Although Camille doesn’t have that classic raven hair, she makes a pretty cute Snow White in her Backyard Bibs as well. Because I already made a light blue Sugar n Spice dress, I didn’t even need to make a second blue shirt. Camille is wearing her bibs over the dress. You can see more of the dress in this post. The yellow fabric was a little thin, so Camille’s skirt takes on the blue hue of the dress underneath. It was about the same length so it doesn’t quite peek out.

The Backyard Bibs pattern is quick and easy to sew. It has two pants and two skirt variations for lots of value! It’s available in 5 popular doll sizes in my Etsy Shop and you can download and sew today!
