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.
