Barbie Fencing Uniform
My sister does fencing, and she suggested that I make a fencing outfit for Barbies. I’ve learned a lot about fencing in the years my sister has done it. It was my goal to make this the most accurate outfit possible, so I did some research as well as asking her for advice. For instance, there are three types of fencing – foil, saber, and epée – and each has a different kind of sword, and target area on the body, so the fencing outfit looks slightly different for each kind. My sister does saber fencing, so that’s the outfit I made.
There are four parts to this outfit: knickers, jacket, T-shirt, and lame. The first three are self-explanatory. The other one is pronounced luh-MAY, and is an extra layer worn over the fencing top. Although the actual lame is worn over the other layers, crochet fabric is far too thick for that, so this is designed to be worn over the knickers + T-shirt.
