Mini-version of a dress from resort collection. Soy silk lace thread, nylon fabric.

Petite runway: Inspired by Michael Kors

The dress from Michael Kors resort collection was described in a retail store as a "fabulous retro-inspired dress with flowery crochet trims, long bell sleeves and flared hem ... ".

It reminds me of 60-s and 70-s crochet fashion.

Daisy dress

This miniature dress has crochet floral applique on the front. There is no need for lining because of a cool combination of  lacy sheer and solid panels.

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 This airy design is perfect for summer outfits and it seems never to be out of date.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.

Petite runway: Inspired by Stella McCartney

This bohemian look for Barbie silkstone was inspired by Stella's McCartney crocheted Daisy dress. I love its asymmetric skirt with a train on the side. It reminds a lot of Edwardian Irish lace gowns. The daisy motif is popular in crochet so i had no trouble to find a similar pattern. It is handmade from cotton yarn (top lace) and nylon knit fabric (lining). The dress fits other fashion dolls.
