| Barbie One Shoulder Cut Out Bodycon Dress |
Since I have been working on Pullip doll crochet clothes lately, I thought I would satisfy some readers out there who have been requesting for more Barbie doll clothes. Because I prefer tight fitting clothes for the more proportional body of Barbie, I came up with this Cut Out Bodycon Dress.
This hub is a free crochet pattern for a Barbie One Shoulder Cut Out Bodycon Dress. This dress was made to fit a Barbie Basics doll (or Model Muse). For more information on different body types, please visit Crocheting Clothes for Your Barbie Doll.
