I invite you to crochet the stylish Vogue Dress for Barbie! It fits in perfectly with current season as it’s warm yet elegant to wear at all the holiday gatherings.
The dress is made in three steps – starting with dress top, then crocheting the dress skirt and finishing with neckline and back closure. Using the black crochet thread and a star-shaped holiday charm I made the choker to complete the look.

I use Lion Brand Oh Baby cotton yarn (1 ball red – color A) and Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread size 3 (one ball black – color B). Crochet hook is 2.75 mm. You’ll also need 1.5 mm hook for back closure beads. I use 3 beads (size 2/0) for back buttons.
