Fashionista Barbie Clothes ~ Tops, Skirts, a Playsuit, Shorts and Trousers

These sweet little serarates are designed to fit the new curvy shaped Fashionista Barbie Doll.

I totally approve of her new realistic shape - with wider waist and hips –

a much better image for our children to be exposed to.

These items do fit the traditional classic Barbie, though they are looser of course.

The pattern includes instructions for a variety of Tops, Skirts, a Playsuit, Shorts and Trousers ………14 different designs in all !

Each item requires ~
Less than 10g of DK yarn
4mm needles for the curvy Fashionista Barbie
3.5mm for the Classic Barbie

Fun to knit ……… and sure to be a hit for the Barbie lovers in your family!
