Today I’m going to show you how to make a simple T-shirt and easy-to-sew elastic waist skirt, a cute little outfit that will fit Curvy Barbie dolls.

Before we go on, let me say that the tee shirt is a bit of a snug fit, so be sure to use jersey fabric with a good amount of stretch to it. If you use non-stretch cotton, it may not fit her properly, as this tee was originally designed for a regular Barbie.

But just look how cute this outfit is!

On a blue background, there are three images of a Kira Curvy Barbie modeling a white tee shirt with a multicolored floral cotton above-the-knee length skirt. The doll on the left is turned slightly to the viewer's right; the doll in the middle faces the viewer straight on; the doll on the right is stepping toward the viewer's left. The doll's hair is long and very dark brown, reading below her waistline without bangs. But it's a very full head of hair.

The other thing you may be wondering is this: where did I get a Curvy Barbie with a Kira face mold? I let some girls play with my Latina Curvy Barbie, and when they were done, there was some sticky stuff in her hair… So I bought some Barbie heads to use as replacements.

Here we see a Kira doll head on the body of a Curvy Barbie doll. The photo shows her upper body, and she wears a white jersey fabric T-shirt with a T-shirt style traditional neckline. The shirt sleeves are a normal length for a tee shirt.

And I have to say, I really like this Kira face on my Curvy Barbie body. It suits her!

Now, with today’s project, I advise that you use stretchy jersey fabric and some size 3/0 snaps for the T-shirt. And for the skirt, you’ll want some small print cotton fabric and 1/8 inch wide elastic for the casing.
