Okay, on with the SHOW!

For my regular followers, you may be thinking that today’s quince dress is actually the same pattern as the Barbie wedding gown, which I posted patterns for back in September.

Yep, that’s correct. And I posted it again in December, to show off the angel wings that I had designed to go with it. Remember that?

Well around that time, I found a lovely Mirabel doll at my local Goodwill store, and to my surprise, she could wear this dress as well!

Luckily, I had given my Barbie’s wedding dress an extra pair of snaps (meaning that I had used four snaps to close the dress), so Mirabel was able to wear the dress, as long as I used the longest stretch of snaps.

Here, have a look. You’ll see what I mean:

If you also apply four snaps to the back, to form a sort of square, you’ll be able to dress both Barbie and Mirabel in this same dress.

So, to make this dress, I recommend that you use some felt for the bodice, some 1/8 inch Offray ribbon for the straps, and to give it the fullness and feel of a quinceanera dress, you’ll want three types of fabric for the skirt’s layers.

If you’re new to sewing, I recommend buying tulle instead of lace for the bottom layer of the skirt. It’s thinner, and as such, usually easier to sew. Lace can sometimes be tricky to work with, especially when the lace has wide holes in its design.

As you can see, I’ve got a “sewing with lace” page on this website, which may provide a few helpful tips for you if you choose to go that route. You can click on the link I’ve included in this paragraph, or click on the image above to navigate over to that page.

Lace or tulle will make up the bottom layer of your skirt; basic white cotton is all you need for your middle layer of skirt; and on top, you’ll want to use a thin fabric with a silky or satiny finish. Polyester is one of the cheaper materials to use for your satin layer.

For the back closure, I recommend using four size 3/0 Dritz snaps.

One last pointer, and it’s an important one! Only cut 1 bodice out of felt, and please remember to cut your skirt fabrics on the fold! (That link will take you to a blog post that shows close-up photos to help you understand what it means to “cut on the fold.”)
