Other than my Barbie outfits this one is not bead loomed. I used Herringbone, Peyote, netting and brick stitch. The Dawn doll is a little more than half the size of a regular Barbie doll, she was produced between 1970 and 1973. I don't know where this one came from, but it spent many years naked as I don't have any clothes that size. So I finally had to make her something. You know I usually resize pictures, but this way the details are easier to see   |

I don't pretend to know any of those stitches but I love what you've done with them!

Thank you, Gayle and Michelle! Michelle, you made me laugh. I have some very well dressed Barbies in original outfits which are much quicker to put on than beaded dresses  but I have really enjoyed making this one with all its challenges. It makes me happy if people like it. Since I can't sew and have hated crocheted Barbie outfits even as a child, this is finally a way for me to make a doll truly mine if you know what I mean. |

She's simply gorgeous, Cat! Her outfit is stunning in its complexity and detail and her shoes are outstanding. You've outdone yourself on this one. You know, I kind of like having a barbie named after me! Dawn |

Thank you, Dawn!  Maybe I'll have to get another one eventually and give her an outfit with a little fascinator |

Oooooooh...I would love that! One of your Barbies has a hat with a feather in it; I've always loved that one. Dawn |

Both Flappers have part of a peacock feather that my sister luckily had in her carnival stash I wonder if I still have some of it left. |

I didn't realize they both had one. I think I'm thinking of the one who has a feather that sticks straight up from the back of her head and I think she has a green dress if memory serves correctly. Dawn |

I knew you meant Christie because she wears a hat while Barbie only wears a headband, both with several (parts of) feathers. Christie:  Barbie:  |

Yes, yes, yes...I just love that hat! Between the feathers, the crochet flower and the green jewels, it is perfection! I love the headband too, but the hat, the hat! Dawn |

You know I only made that hat because I had to hide Christie's hair ...  |
