I love the simplicity of this one and the criss-crossing back.
I don't know if you can see that or not. But the ribbon is indeed all sparkley.
There's something about that one that I just love...I think it's the fullness of the skirt...
I love to sew...I hate to iron....ironic? maybe? But that's why I didn't include the full-length shot of the skirt.
And I was pleased with this experiment of a hat. I don't know if you can tell but both dress and hat have lace overlay.
Though I didn't sew anything for these next shots...I just loved the photos...
I could post more...but I think I've posted enough :)
I haven't sewed anything in at least four years. Though I've got patterns and fabric that taunts me sometimes.

That's beautiful Becky! I have an aunt who used to sew outfits for my sisters and my Barbie dolls.. I'd almost forgotten about it!
I love to sew but haven't done it in years either...maybe this post will make some of us get out our old passions and start them back up again?
I sewed for my dolls too, up into my 20s...I had counted on having girls, so I could have my doll house set up again, but it didn't happen. Oh well.
I am very impressed, Becky, at how you managed to do such a neat job on the fitted bodices! What with the extraodrinary bust to waist ratio, I had a hard time with this. But then, my dolls were smaller--Dawn dolls, and Dancing Pippa dolls, and some even smaller girl dolls with long hair from around 1980...
blah--signed into the wrong account. That was me.
I've made a couple of outfits for my daughter's Barbies but not many. It's tough to sew something so tiny!
Wow, that must've been really hard on the eyes. I used to sew people clothing and that was hard enough!
That was a great post! My nana used to knit all of the clothes for our dolls! Beautiful pictures!
Wow, I don't know how you can sew anything that tiny! Very impressive.
