One of my very first forays into fashion design was making dresses for my Barbies when I was young. My mother bought a bag of fabric scraps at a yard sale and gave it to me so that I could make my doll some clothes. I don't remember if I begged her for fabric or Barbie clothes or what, but I am very grateful to her for buying me the fabric. I've never stopped designing since!
This sarong style Barbie dress was made for my granddaughter's birthday. She loves hair, so I fished through my stash of old Barbies and found one with long hair in her favorite color: pink! Then she needed a pretty dress. And not just pretty, but one that would be easy for a 4 year old to put on and take off. The simple sarong has long ties that fasten in several different ways, all of them innovative to a young girl. She even has a headband that ties!

Denise FeltI took this challenge in the hopes of expanding my creativity as an artist. Already I'm seeing art in a new light -- as something to do for fun and not just practicality! Archives
