Barbie Wedding Dress DIY with Free Patterns @ ChellyWood.com #JuneWedding #FreeBarbiePatterns

For your free patterns and tutorial videos, please scroll down to the second set of bullets.

It’s only April, but now’s the time to start sewing projects for June! And everybody knows that June is a month for weddings…

So although today’s pattern is one I’ve had on this website for a long time, I thought the tutorial video needed a re-boot, so you’ll find that today’s video has been upgraded with some newer photos, additional explanations, and voiceover.

With that said, it’s time for me to make my required affiliate marketing statement: as an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

The image shows a vintage Mattel Barbie doll modeling a white ball gown. The sleeves of the dress are puffy from the top at the shoulder to the small white cuffs. The neckline is sort of U-shaped. The skirt is slightly full (it does have a layer of tulle under the skirt, and this petticoat makes the skirt seem full). The doll is a brunette with her long straight hair pulled back. Her eyes are blue. The background is a mottled purple and pink color. There's a watermark on the image, telling you that this long-sleeved wedding dress was designed by Chelly Wood, whose website, ChellyWood.com, offers free printable PDF sewing patterns for making doll clothes to fit dolls of many shapes and all different sizes.

For our friends in the UK and other parts of the world where A4 printer paper is used, I’ve added the A4 printer paper patterns to the free goodies found in the second set of bullets below. Hooray for that! 🎉

To make today’s long-sleeved wedding dress, I recommend using plain white cotton fabric. You’ll also need a few size 4/0 Dritz snaps.

Neither the video nor the pattern itself mention that you’ll also need to cut an extra skirt from lace or tulle, in order to make a petticoat under the skirt.

You can always embellish your wedding dress with lace trim, rickrack trim, and/or ribbons as well. Look back at Tuesday’s blog post, to learn more about rickrack trim.

And if you’d like to make an easy-to-sew veil to go with your wedding dress, just have a look at this video. 

Of course, as it says in today’s video, you don’t have to use this pattern for just making Barbie wedding dresses. It makes a lovely princess dress or a Victorian-era pioneer dress as well.

In front of a turquoise blue mottled backdrop, a Barbie with brown hair, bangs, and the Steffie face mold models a handmade pioneer-style dress. The dress has a scoop neck, puff sleeves, and a floor-length skirt. It's made of tan gingham check fabric, and it has gathered cuffs with a thin lace trim at the end of each puffy sleeve. The doll's head is cocked slightly to her left, accentuating her innocent facial expression. The ChellyWood.com logo is in the lower right corner of the photograph.

This pattern was originally in my Barbie Cosplay gallery, but honestly, I’m not sure people have been scrolling down to that section much. So in the future, watch for changes to that gallery and the navigation buttons that lead you to the Barbie Cosplay gallery.

If you’ve never seen my Barbie cosplay gallery, here’s a link so you can go check it out!

In this photo, we see a modern Barbie (Asian facial features) wearing a wine-colored dress with a scoop neck, long sleeves that are puffy, and cuffs. The dress is floor length and all one color. Over the top of the wine-colored dress, she wears a grey flannel cloak with a white cotton lining. The hood's lining has been folded back to form a simple white edge that frames the doll's lovely fair features and rich black hair. The hood drapes around her head and clasps at the neck with a decorative clasp. The neck of the cape is lined with lace. The doll seems to hold up her skirts as if holding it off the wooden floor at her feet slightly. Behind her is a mottled blue background color. The watermark says "Chelly Wood," reminding us that these doll clothes were made using the free printable PDF sewing patterns found at ChellyWood.com

This image shows a lovely African-American doll wearing a white ball gown (reminiscent of wedding gowns, though not particularly adorned). The pattern itself offers a bodice front, bodice back, and sleeve with cuff. The skirt pattern is provided elsewhere. These are pieces to a whole doll gown which is designed to fit playscale sized (1:6 scale) fashion dolls like Mattel's Barbie, the Queens of Africa dolls, Liv dolls from Spin Master, and many similar-sized dolls.
