Japanese kimono are a traditional dress that is very easy to sew and elegant to wear! However, it's designed for people with significantly less curve than these dolls! My design is cleverly tailored so that you can hide the curve (purple) in the traditional style or show it off (red).
Patterns included: Kimono with more/less curvy cuts and fitting options for dolls in 1/3 size with curvy/hourglass shaped proportions. Supplies needed: 1/4 yard fabric, thread/sewing supplies
Difficulty: Easy--great for beginners! You can also check out the 'Tutorials' section for free resources on sewing and sizing.

I have now tried quite a few of her patterns and have LOVED each and every one! And have not had any issues with any of them. They always fit perfectly and are so darned cute when finished!
With Gwen's help, I was able to upsize the pattern to fit my 28-inch Barbie doll and she looks so cute! I just love how easily the dress sews up and how it looks in the end. It fits her perfectly! Thank you so much for everything you do for our community!
Awesome, love it, making it for a doll that is bigger than barbie but skinnier, and with a slightly bigger but. I love this doll, but she is making me crazy with the pattern adjustments. I think I can make this one for her without too much insanity.
