Lovely dresses! I think I have about every pattern for the 18" dolls - I try to make one outfit each month so when Christmas comes my granddaughters get at least 6 new outfits each. In my area there is a group that meets once a month and we bring the clothes we make. Several of the ladies used to make porcelain dolls and they have a wealth of information to share about dolls and clothes.

I have a tip for all of us that use the same patterns many times for the AG clothes. I made them for 10 years for craft fairs and found that if I ironed fusable interfacing on the wrong side of the pattern it will hold up under countless pinings. I've also repaired patterns with small pieces of the interfacing. Irons wont get gummed up like scotch tape.
