This pattern is used for both the swimsuit bottoms of “Lexa” and the underpants for the skating skirt of “Gerda”.

Elastic thread is run through the stitches of the waist.

The pattern says this is for an 11-inch doll, but it does fit an 11.5” Barbie-type doll with the 1960s figure: 5.5”/3.125”/5”. Check the fit as you go for other varieties of doll.
