Okay so I finished this project recently and I feel the need to brag about it: B A R B I E jacket, inspired by this Balmain x Barbie denim jacket.

I love it. I adore it. Do I have thirteen hundred dollars for a denim jacket? I do not. Do I have gay audacity? You know I do.

I used the Studio Calicot SUSAN pattern, shortening the body and sleeves by an inch for an ultra-cropped length. This pattern is really fantastic - very detailed which can be rare with indie patterns, but straightforward to sew and immensely satisfying to piece together. The flatfell seams are a particularly nice touch.

The main fabric is a silk-nylon twill which is lightweight but very stiff and bouncy, giving it a great structure. The contrast yoke is a limited-edition Riley Blake Barbie print - I was only able to buy half a yard so I had to use it carefully and this shoulder yoke was perfect.

The rhinestones are three different shades to achieve a drop shadow effect, and all hand-placed. Did I go too hard on this? Yeah probably but it's a vibe, so.

Yes, I also made a matching skirt.

Barbie's Pride Ward(a)robe, Part Five

2023 is all about the cultural phenomenon that is Barbie, but as much as I consider myself a collector, I've never been into pink. Nor am I excited by many of her fashions. As there is one colour palette I'm passionate about, for @aggressivelyarospec's Aggressively Arospectacular I'm posting my biggest crafting project yet: clothes and accessories for dolls who want to make fashion all about our aromantic pride.

The goal: a collection of mix and match pieces so my dolls can glory in a variety of aro-themed outfits.

The result: a seven-part post series detailing my misadventures in hand-sewing a 65-piece summer ward(a)robe.

Today's post shows off a selection of T-shirts in aromantic colours and the garments I used as a pattern base ... as well as discussing materials, cross-stitching on knit fabrics and my embroidery patterns.

Folks can find all past and future posts collected on my website or my patreon.

so i purchased some interesting dolls

I was thrifting with my wife when i saw these girlies, the outfits caught my eye immediately so i bought them. Let me tell you how actually interesting this find is.

These two are wearing a miniature version of the 2015 Qantas airlines uniform.

now this isn't that weird right? there have been lots of air hostess barbies over the years, except these were commissioned by Qantas. In 2015 to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the company's founding, Qantas hired designer Martin Grant to create a miniature version of the company's latest uniform to be displayed in the Qantas lounge and later the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences in Sydney to go along with a collection donated posthumously by John Willmott–Potts here’s an article with more info on that.

however Qantas also commissioned a small Adelaide based doll clothing artist who goes by Margellen to create 5 other replica dolls for their social media campaign.

According to Margellen’s blog the dolls were flown out all over the world to be photographed for Qantas’ social media. However the one in-front of the Sydney opera house is the only one i can find.

here are Margellen’s dolls reboxed before being sent out.

now the ladies i ended up with:

this one seems to be a finished doll, her dress is nicely lined so shes probably an extra or a doll that was donated after the media campaign ended right?

this is the other doll she was with, while they look similar there are actually a lot of differences.

her belt is a separate plastic accessory and not a sewn on ribbon.

the edges are raw and unfinished!!!

the black closure is glued on velcro instead of sewn on snaps

hand sewn darts probably done to adjust the pattern before the final

so i believe these girlies are prototypes of Margellen’s work, i have no idea how they ended up in a thrift store in Sydney but I’m very glad to have them in my life. The finished piece is so well made it feels better than some human clothes I’ve had.

Margellen’s socials haven’t been active in a few years so i hope she is doing well, if this post somehow makes it back to her i would love to hear more about her lovely creations. I haven’t given my girls a proper clean yet as i wanted to document them as they looked when i first got them, my plan now is to clean and display them together and find them some 2015 barbie style black pumps to match the original vision.

Summer Ensemble

The jacket is linen with many hand done elements including the buttonholes and pockets. I based it heavily on the extant example at Colonial Williamsburg and another at the Kent museum. I was going to draft it myself But I lost my book so I just altered my tailcoat pattern. It was really cool to make a garment more specific to where I’m from. It can be worn with or without a vest.

The breeches are made with cotton with a slight sheen. I think it’s glazed cotton. The buckles I got from Burnley and Trowbridge and I like them a lot.

Both fabrics and the cravat fabric were acquired second hand.

The straw hat is vintage from roughly 1950s

I mashed my way through finishing this. It did suffer from the "it's been too long, just need it done, no longer able to think about WELL done"

Now on to million layer petticoat and waiting for her blonde wig to arrive :3

Found this pattern on Pinterest today! I think it might have inspired Barbie’s pink gingham romper. The back of Barbie’s romper has a heart-shaped cutout and the shoulder straps are much thinner, but otherwise the design is very similar. The pattern dates from the 1970s.

This pattern is available on Etsy.

You know that euphoria when some idea finally clicks? This is what happened here ><

I've had Pizzazz for 7 years and she went on quite a long style journey but I think she's finally where I want her to be, she went all punk!

For tee I used hazard sign printed as stamp and acrylic fabric paint and I'm honestly in love with result??

This Aro Week, I'm continuing my adventures in making handsewn aro-themed clothes for Barbie and other one-sixth-scale fashion dolls with my personal favourite pride flag--the allosexual aromantic flag.

Today's post details updates to my original cardigan, legging and trouser tutorials, a new one-shoulder top, and a guide to colour pairings when sewing clothes to suit multiple pride flags.
