Several of my customer have asked for patterns for the new Curvy and Tall Fashionista Barbie dolls, so I’ve adjusted my most popular crochet dress for the dolls.

The dress is pull on with the bodice made first in dc rounds then the skirt is worked along the bottom hem in trebles. The tall doll has a longer waist than the original Barbie, but lengthening the torso looked a bit odd so I kept the same and made the skirt longer.

Curvy Barbie - it was difficult to dress the doll with the original style of pull on dress even though I had added quite a few extra stitches. For ease of fit I worked the last two rounds of the bodice in rows leaving a small back opening which is shaped a little. If you prefer omit the shaping and add a small button

You will need about 25g of 4ply yarn, I used Patons 4ply cotton, plus a small amount of contrast for the two colour dress, no 3.50 hook
