Month: August 2016

Here we see a sewing room 1:6 scale diorama made for Barbie and similar sized dolls. It includes an ironing board, a sewing table, an office chair, a wardrobe or storage closet, miniature sewing tools, and a dress form mannequin for trying the handmade doll clothes on. The wall behind these objects appears to be brick, with tiny windows set in.

The image shows a Petite Barbie modeling a turquoise blue felt and cotton easy-to-sew sun dress in front of a garden of roses. The dress has a full skirt made of striped cotton fabric in multiple shades of turquoise blue. Its skirt is very short, coming to about mid-thigh on the doll. The bodice is a simple strappy bodice with darts. The doll's dangling plastic earrings match the turquoise blue of the felt bodice. The ribbon straps are made of 1/8 inch white satin ribbon. The doll has dark chocolate complexion and very curly black hair. The roses behind her are different shades of pink and red and white, and in the distant background, we see a lovely brick building with arches.
