Before you made this. I was just thinking that my daughter’s barbie needed a summer dress. pictures will be up soon on flickr.
So cute I love the fabric
I know I love it too! I only had a tiny piece of it.
Wow….i love this one!! this dress is the best way to spend summer in the beach with ken xD
nice job miss B~
Thank you Chris!
How do you get this dress on and off the doll? I made one but the halter strap? I couldn’t get it to fit like your photo. Strap was too long when make long enough to go over Barbie’s head. I ended up using a snap, but fit is large and not cute fitted. AWESOME tutorials btw!
The dress is open in the back and there is a sew on snap to close it. As for the straps, I have a trick. I put the dress reverse on the doll and I pin the straps on her directly, Then I take the dress of and I sew the straps, so I am sure it fits.
Do the straps tie in the back, make a cross in the back, or is it a loop that you have to slip over Barbie’s head? You are so helpful and have mad design skills! Thanks!
Hello!
I did two little straps and I added a sew on snap on the back to attach them.
You can simply use a ribbon.
Happy sewing!
Miss B
