Barbie is now a part of every little lady's play routine. They love playing with her and also dress her up. But not many Barbie dresses are easily available in the toy shops or for that matter in the online stores as well. Whatever is available either doesn't fit or the quality is not up to the mark!
Hence I decided to sew some hassle free dress designs with left over scraps of cloth and laces. And the result was quite delightful for my daughter and for me as well :)
Thought of sharing them with you too -
1. Pink and white sleeveless dress.
Stitch it up with some leftover laces and add some net ruffles for a stylish look. Tuck it in near the waist line.
Pair it with white sneakers.
2. Blue and White frilled dress
This dress can be made easily from left over scraps of cloth. It's a loose fitting frock so doesn't require much attention to measurement details.
I had some blue and white pieces left so I made this one.
No laces, just the frills.
It gives a cool summer look.
3. Gathered Polka dots dress
This dress is not only easy to stitch but also looks really elegant!
It's a simple gathered dress with a lace to enhance the style quotient.
4. Asymmetrical red and yellow dress
I have added a yellow triangular patch with a couple of star buttons to complete the look.
And a matching handbag to pair with.
5. An off-shoulder Party Gown
This one is a simple off-shoulder mono-chrome gathered party wear. Even the dolls like to party sometimes :)
I have added some sequins using the fabric glue to finish the glam look.
And in addition there is a small matching purse to complement the outfit.
The necklace is made from some left over bead chain.
It's always a good idea to use
self adhesive velcro patches instead of sewing buttons as I have done here. It reduces a lot of time and stress.
Hope you enjoyed the looks and ready to try out some! :)
You can get the shoes, handbags and other accessories from
Amazon.
Tried to make one gown for
Stacy as well
