Barbie Strapless Gown
Slowly I have been working through my spring holiday doll patterns. This is the Annie's Attic Strapless Gown Pattern from Annie's Fashion Doll Quick and Easy book number 87D20. I believe this will be Barbie's Easter dress for the Easter package. I added an elastic waist as I did with the Valentine dress.
This dress used baby fingering yarn. The best part of creating this outfit was the skirt. I enjoyed using the shell stitch in a new way to create the skirt pattern.

Oh this is cute! I love the color!
ReplyDeleteDo you put your stuff on Etsy? I would love to get some of the Barbie and American Girl size goodies you make!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment. My husband is encouraging me to get enough stuff made to do a craft fair and I think I may start there to see if I am ready to go down that road.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that you should sell at a craft fair and even regular fairs if you have any near you. Also, Etsy is great. I know a bunch of people that would love these outfits.
