I’ve been working on making today’s free curvy fashion doll underwear pattern for a couple of years. I had some early versions that didn’t work for Curvy Barbie, but they did work out for other dolls. And that’s why the project remained on the “drawing board” for quite a while.
I’m finally at a point where I’m comfortable releasing these free underwear patterns for Curvy Barbie and similar-sized dolls. Please note the parentheses that follow some dolls in my list of all the dolls that will fit in today’s free doll underwear sewing patterns.

Last week’s video offered my recommendations for fabrics to use with projects like this. I’ll repost that “YouTube Short” video here, for your convenience:
I’m planning to make another video soon, showing you all the steps for making the underpants. We’ll see how that goes!
In the past, if I have promised you that the video is coming “soon,” something always seems to happen, to delay video production! So I’m not going to jinx this upcoming underpants video by saying it’s in the works…
To make today’s doll undergarments, you will likely need one of the following items:
- jersey fabrics on Amazon
- variety snaps
- 1/8 inch elastic on Amazon
- 3/4 inch sew-on Velcro on Amazon (cut it in half down the middle)
- chopsticks (for inverting doll clothes)
- Dritz fabric pencil
- Fiskars Stitchers mini snips (for clipping seams efficiently)
- Gutermann sewing machine thread
This list comes from my “Buyer’s Guide” page, which is easily accessed from the home page.
And if you’re interested in using earth-friendly fabrics, please consider buying your fabric from my Spoonflower store. I have a whole corner dedicated to “Fabric for Making Doll Clothes!”

- Curvy Barbie (from Mattel)
- Ida B. Wells Barbie (also from Mattel)
