Within a blue linen frame, a Curvy Barbie doll models a handmade tank top and skirt. The words beside her say, "free patterns" and below that, there's a logo for the ChellyWood.com free doll clothes pattern website. The doll's tank top is made of green felt with tiny 1/8 inch ribbon straps. Her elastic-waist skirt has tiny holly decorations printed on the white cotton fabric. She wears tan plastic shoes.

Framed in turquoise blue linen fabric, we see a close-up shot of the skirt worn by Juliet's nurse in the stop motion video of Romeo and Juliet, and on top of the layers of skirts, we see the simple apron with detailed embroidery on it. The arrow on this image points to the embroidery, and the text says "free pattern and embroidery tutorials" above the ChellyWood.com logo.
