I do not have a problem with people/groups using my patterns to make a little extra money by physically making them and selling the items they make.

 

However, I do not permit the selling of my patterns for money. I have once given permission for a booklet to be made of them for a charitable sale and I may do so again *if I am asked* and if it is for a church, charity or school type group. But first you have to ask.

 

Furthermore, If you choose to use my patterns as a money maker, I do not permit my images to be used for any advertizing of your work. You must make your own item and photograph that. These images are as much a part of my Web image as a designer as the patterns are and I reserve that use to myself alone.

This is the 15" Dress Up Adventure Dora and she is no longer being sold that I know of. Some people are still finding her at thrift stores so it can be worth a look.

 

Generally speaking these patterns should fit an 18" doll with only a couple more rows on the pant legs. Check the "Dora is my darling" thread to see a Dora outfit on an 18" Fancy Nancy doll.
