I have a nice clean Chatty. But, no clothes. I have been looking at the patterns that I have to find a pattern that might work, but none come even close. The best thing that ever happened to doll restoration and collecting is google and ebay. I don't want at this time to spend any money, so that pretty much eliminates ebay. I have googled Free Chatty Cathy dress pattern, after looking for quite a while the closest thing I found was a bunch of retired American Girl patterns and they are free. You just have to download and print them. I usually print patterns like this as these sites can disappear.. You might want to bookmark this site if you sew for you dolls. These patterns can be found at:

I spent the better part of an afternoon looking for a free pattern for Chatty. I finally found a multi-sized one that also has a slip and panties.
Due to the instruction about property rights on this site I cannot link you to this site, but, go to google and put in the search bar: free doll dress patters 18-22 inches and it will give you the dress pattern page. At the bottom of that page are links to a panties and a slip pattern.
I printed out the patterns. This site gives the measurement of the doll the dress and undies had been made for so you can adjust for fit. I was glad to see that as I am not good at fitting patterns.
I pulled out my fabric stash for some white cotton, elastic and lace to make the undies. Panties first as I have a thing about a girl with no drawers. Here is Chatty in her new panties.
