Criss-Cross Around the Waist Fashion Doll Dress
This cute barbie doll dress pattern is very similar to the Fashion Doll Summer Dress, and thus is also a perfect match for the Summer Sun Hat and the ESC Fashion Doll Shrug.
The dress works up quick and easy and makes for a cute stocking stuffer for any young girl.
Another bonus of this pattern is that it can be crocheted to any size you want in a simple multiple of two.
