Your American Girl doll will be the star of the show in this cute dance recital outfit, by Jelly Bean Soup Designs!  The leotard has been embellished with sparkly stars or heart shapes.  Fabric and embellishment choices can be wild and crazy or sweet and demure.  The leotard is not made from stretchy fabric but could be.  Other trim ideas are limitless.  Machine embroidery would also be so cute!  Her hat looks difficult to make but actually goes together quite easily by following the step by step directions given in the PDF pattern.
