Star Dress Knit for Barbie by Knit n Sew Studio |
This simple dress for Barbie is knit in one piece starting at the hem and seamed in the back. There are no buttons or snaps. The ribbon is weaved through the ribbing at the waist and tied in the a bow at the back.
I originally designed this dress in 2000 and would like to share the pattern with you. The dress is on display as part of my Dressing Our Dolls display.
