Crochet summer top

This Barbie's top is based on a crochet pattern that goes online as "cosmo". It became popular among lace makers after an appearance of a white crochet dress on a "Cosmopolitan" cover. I also was tempted to crochet a similar summer frock (which used to be my favorite). This airy design is perfect for summer outfits and it seems never to be out of date. You can see pineapple motifs in resort collections every year.  It was interesting to repeat something like it for a Barbie.
