To learn more about how to add lace to the front of a doll’s shirt, please click here, and that link will take you to last Wednesday’s instructional blog post.

The diagram I’ve placed above should help a little bit too.

The skirt my DC SuperGirl doll is wearing uses the same pattern as the one that’s available for Creatable World Dolls, Moana, and other 10 inch dolls. So if my snowman skirt looks familiar, that’s why.

The blouse uses a very lightweight cotton fabric, and I pretty much followed the same directions as the ones for making Skipper a T-shirt — it’s also the same shirt pattern — but before I began to sew the shirt, I attached my lace and ribbon down the front.

Here’s the Skipper shirt I’m talking about:

To make today’s blouse and skirt for your DC Superhero doll, you will likely need one of the following items:
