Abigail, An 18th Century 12 inch Queen Anne Cloth Doll ~ Designed for my Pattern Business, Moss Hill Primitives - Both Digital or Printed

Moss Hill Primitives

Abigail is a Queen Anne doll in 18th-century clothing.

 

Queen Anne dolls are named for Anne, queen of Great Britain and Ireland from 1707 until her death in 1714. During this period, carved wooden dolls dressed in period clothing became popular for children and adults alike.

 

This pattern helps you create a cloth Queen Anne doll. She wears a shift but no underwear, because women in the 1700s wore shifts plus many petticoats as undergarments. Underwear such as pantalets and bloomers became popular as late as the mid-1800s.
