This party dress has been available on my website for some time now, but the tutorial was a really old one. I thought it needed to be remastered with better sound and higher quality photos.
To make this basic party dress for fashion dolls like Barbie, you’ll need some cotton fabric and Dritz 2/0 snaps.
Today’s patterns will fit these dolls:
- Queens of Africa Dolls
- Momoko dolls
- modern and Made-to-Move Barbie dolls
- vintage Barbie dolls
- Tall Barbie dolls
