If you are wondering how to make a dress for a doll with your own hands, then in this article you will find everything you need. The most interesting thing is to dress a Barbie doll. The very image of a Barbie doll, born in the heads of two Americans in the middle of the last century, implied the creation of a doll that looked like an adult, because all the rest were portrayed as pot-bellied babies. Barbie had to have the same worries and habits as a young American woman. In addition, collections of clothes in different styles and shapes were created especially for Barbie. Of all the dolls, Barbie is the most suitable for getting serious about her wardrobe.

This is what the most famous doll beauty in a homemade dress will look like.



These three chic dresses are made in the same pattern. They are all very bright and stylish, and in fact they are one and the same dress. Now we will talk about how you can make different products that are completely different from each other, without wasting time in search of all kinds of patterns for dresses for dolls.

We start to sew a beautiful dress for a doll with our own hands

To make such a dress, you will need 2 pieces of fabric measuring 15 by 6.5 cm and 12.5 by 30 cm.If you are planning shoulder straps for the dress, you will need a decorative ribbon 13 cm long (two shoulder straps 6.5 cm each). You also need to purchase a 10 cm long Velcro strap for the fastener.

First you need to overcast all the edges of the two pieces of fabric. Then you need to bend 1 cm of the fabric inward and iron it from two short sides of a piece of fabric and from one long one like this.

A sewing machine stitch along the folded edges.

Next, a piece for the bodice is taken (15 by 6.5 cm) and fixed on the doll in order to make darts. As shown in the figure, you need to pull the fabric along the doll's figure with needles, and then sew from the seamy side of the product.

Let's start with the skirt. We lay a line along the top edge of the skirt and tighten the fabric.

Then we fold the bodice and skirt with the front sides and sew them together, stepping back 1 cm from the edge.

In order for the dress to fit properly, turn it inside out, iron out the seam between the bodice and the skirt, and then lay a line along it from the front side of the product, retreating 0.3 cm from the seam.

Finish with the Velcro fastener.

As you can see from the job description, making a dress for a doll is a matter of a couple of hours. But how much joy the daughter will have when she receives a new thing for her pet. Such a dress can be made with straps by simply sewing on two ribbons from the wrong side. Alternatively, you can make the dress to the floor, which will make it an evening option. You can decorate products with all kinds of applications, stones, beads, etc. You can sew a handbag, beret or coat to the dress in the same style.

Here are some more models of doll dresses.




The last two dresses are crocheted. The work here is completely different. Patterns, scissors, sewing machines are not needed. The main thing that is needed is the scheme of the dress for the doll, crochet is knitted only according to the scheme.

We talked about how to sew an original dress for a small doll. However, there are things that are even easier to make. For example, these are the skirts.

In order to sew such skirts, you need a minimum of fabric and, most importantly, very little time. You can sew them from any piece of fabric that you find at home. The size of a piece of fabric for a skirt is 19 cm by 11 cm. You can cut several such fragments. In addition, you will need an elastic band, scissors, threads and a sewing machine to work. For those who know how to make beautiful stitches with their hands, you can do without a typewriter.

So, let's get started. If you have different pieces prepared for one skirt, then they need to be sewn together.

If you have an overlock, then the cuts of the sewn parts and the correct part of the skirt should be overcast. A zigzag seam is also suitable for overcasting.

Hello dear guest and doll lover. Today I put on a new dress for my doll. I will share with you how sew a dress for a doll very quickly from pieces of fabric left after shortening your own clothing.

My dress is sewn on a Baby Born with a height of 43 cm, but how to sew a dress for a doll other height? It all depends on the size of the piece of fabric you have. I shortened my skirt by 12 cm, so I sewed an outfit for a doll with a height of 43 cm.A piece of fabric with a width of 9 cm is quite suitable for a doll with a height of 36 cm, 7 cm is enough for a doll with a height of 30 cm.My clothes are in size 46, so the length of a piece of fabric was about 100 cm ( I did not measure the fabric when I shortened the skirt, now I just calculated it according to the finished doll outfit).

The doll's dress is knitted and consists of three parts: 2 identical bodice parts, 1 skirt part.

There are no seams on the shoulders, so lace ties are sewn, which also serve as a decoration for the dress. The belt is also made of lace. Such an outfit can be sewn from any fabric, because it fits very easily on the doll. Sewing it is very simple, any beginner in sewing will cope with this work.

If the fabric does not stretch, then the dress must be made wide. My jersey stretches very little, so the outfit is wide enough. But due to the lace belt, this is practically not visible. Additionally, you can make another seam at the waist, forming a drawstring to thread the elastic, like in trousers or a skirt. If the jersey is bi-elastic, that is, it stretches well in all directions, the outfit can be sewn tight.

I really like the scraps of fabric left over from the shortening of the garment because they are already beautifully sewn on by the sewing machine. I don’t have such a machine, so I use such scraps with pleasure, I sew doll trousers, skirts, dresses.

HOW TO SEW A DOLL DRESS


The dress is ready. We dress it on a fashionista doll. I still managed to photograph Bonechka in this dress among the yellow maple leaves, although a little out of season. We had a photo session of autumn costumes.

You can sew for the doll quickly

(or any other doll). Today the master class is more difficult - but the result is worth the effort! One scheme - and many dresses for dolls: luxurious and simple, with different patterns, straps and a belt. Your daughter will be fascinated!

To do this, you will need:

  • 1 piece of fabric measuring 15 × 6.5cm for bodice, 1 piece of fabric measuring 12.5 × 30cm
  • tape: 2 pieces 6.5 cm long for straps, if you decide to sew them to the dress
  • Velcro for fastening 10 cm long and 0.5 cm wide

Materials for work: threads, iron, scissors, sewing machine.

First, zigzag or overlock the edges of the fabric of all parts. Using an iron, bend it 0.5 cm and iron 2 short sides and one long side on each piece.

Sew these sides with a typewriter, about 0.3 cm away from the edge.

Take the piece of fabric for the bodice and wrap it around the doll (thanks for posing for us, Cinderella).

Pin the fabric at the back so that it fits around your figure, then pin the fabric at the front to create darts.

Sew back and forth along the darts, but do not bring the stitch to the edge of the fabric (be sure to use the correct thread).

Try on the bodice and make sure the darts are in place.

Sew a seam (long, straight stitch) along the top of the skirt and pull on the thread to gather the fabric.

Attach the bottom of the dress to the bodice with more pins.

Flip over to the other side. Now sew these pieces together, about 1 cm away from the edge. Finish the seam by overlooking the edge with a zigzag or overlock.

Turn the garment right over, iron it and sew 0.3 cm away from the center seam.


Then sew on a piece of Velcro.
