The image shows a Made-to-Move Barbie dressed like Audrey Hepburn from the early 1960's. She wears a black turtleneck with black capri pants and black plastic flats. She's seated on a tiny 1:6 scale folding chair. One arm is slung over the back of the chair, and the other arm is extended for balance. She is lifting one of her feet high into the air in front of her, while the other leg is bent with her toes just resting on a concrete floor. The wall behind her is white, creating a sharp contrast to the black clothing and silver chair. If you'd like to make this outfit, click on the link provided in the caption.

Here we see an image of a Made-to-Move Barbie dressed all in black and seated on a folding chair. She poses like an acrobat. The overlay states, "Audrey Hepburn 1960's Pants Project" and there's an image of a pants sewing pattern visible at the side of the doll (sort of superimposed on the background of turquoise blue fabric). At the bottom of the image, we see the logo for ChellyWood.com, a website that offers hundreds of free printable doll clothes patterns.

The image shows a Disney 10 inch Moana doll wearing handmade doll clothes. The sleeveless shirt has a background color of white (cotton) with a zigzag pattern overlaid in different shades of pink plus bright red. The purse Moana carries uses the same fabric, and its zigzag pattern goes up-and-down, contrasting the side-to-side zigzag pattern on the sleeveless top. She wears a pair of pink sandals and pink pants that coordinate nicely with the whole ensemble.

The image shows a Wellie Wishers doll modeling a beautiful, handmade Victorian-style dress. It has slightly puffed sleeves that taper to the doll's wrists. The full skirt flares a bit and gathers at the waist. The doll smiles slightly at the camera. The dress is made of blue gingham check cotton fabric, and the simplicity of the dress reminds us of the character of Laura from the Little House on the Prairie books and television show.
