Rachel over on Crochet Spot has been getting into some serious Mattel nostalgia recently, and crocheted this cute ruffle dress for one of her old dolls.
Personally, I'm always a little bit suspicious of the 'grown women with dolls' phenomenon, but that doesn't stop me indulging in the odd trip down memory lane while nobody's looking. So if you're a doll person (or have a daughter, imaginary or otherwise) and want to dress up Barbie, Sindy or equivalent, why not check out the other two spring-like patterns I found? To the left is a miniature 'test' costume from Craft Stylish and to the right is eco chic Barbie wearing a very avant-garde frock crocheted out of plastic bags. Right on!
