YOU CAN SEW THIS DRESS FOR:

1. The Classic Ballgown

Basic Barbie vs Made to move

Let's start simple! This one's an easy ballgown dress paired with a sweetheart neckline. Since we're drafting the pattern from scratch (no printouts here), I kept it beginner-friendly but still stylish and elegant. And whats more timeless than a princess-style wedding dress we all know and loved. If you're curious how I drafted and sewed it, you can check the video down below for the tutorial.

2. The Circle Skirt Twist

From a distance you can see it's high resemblance to the first dress, but there's one thing that change: the skirt. Instead of a gathered skirt, I switch things up with a circle skirt design. It's a subtle difference, but it completely transforms the dress into something more flowy and modern. Sometimes, its small tweaks like this that gives your doll a whole new look.

3. The Mermaid Silhoutte

For the last one, I went bold with a mermaid-style wedding dress. The fitted bodice and flared hem creates a glamorous, figure-hugging look, which looks perfect on a Curvy Barbie.

Of course I'm not saying it only looks good on her, you can also make this style of dress for other barbies too. It just takes a little adjustments and this will fit them like a glove. I think out of the three dress I made, this one was the most fun to make!

FINAL THOUGHTS

And that's the end of today's sewing challenge—three Barbie wedding gowns, no printed pattern required! The best part about this is that you can make all these for any Barbie you own and style it however you want. I enjoy making them all (especially the mermaid dress). But now it's your turn: if you could only sew one for Barbie, which style would you pick? Drop your thoughts in the comments, and who knows it might inspire my next project

Thanks for reading, Happy sewing!
