Please visit ChellyWood.com for FREE printable sewing patterns for dolls of many shapes and sizes. Mattel's tall Barbie is shown wearing a handmade quinceanera dress with lace embellishments at the bottom of the skirt and on the straps for the bodice of the dress. She holds one hand out to show how the skirt flows, and Tall Barbie's other hand it on her waist but hidden somewhat behind her. She stands on a wooden-looking floor in a 1:6 scale diorama. On the wall behind her is the painting of Romeo and Juliet, along with two items of wicker furniture: a table and a chair. The table holds a porcelain tea set painted with tiny pink flowers that match her lovely quinceanera dress. The Tall Barbie smiles softly with pink painted-on lipstick. Her eyes look slightly left, not quite staring into the camera. The watermark on this image says ChellyWood.com FREE doll clothes patterns and tutorials.

Please visit ChellyWood.com for FREE printable sewing patterns for dolls of many shapes and sizes. Image shows a Made-to-Move Barbie wearing a hand-made quinceañera style ball gown with a lacy one-shoulder bodice. The doll stands in a 1:6 scale room complete with a painting on the wall, a wicker table, and a wicker chair. The wall paper has a speckled look to it. The floor of the doll's diorama looks like hard wood. Atop the wicker table is a porcelain tea set in 1:6 scale, with Barbie-pink flowers decorating it. The handles of the cups and teapot look like they are golden. The made-to-move Barbie poses with one leg extended and her toes pointed like a ballerina. Her arms are open wide, welcoming the viewer into her Barbie doll house. The overlay says, "ChellyWood.com" and below that, it says, "FREE printable sewing patterns for dolls of many shapes and sizes."
