Barbie Sexy Cleavage Dress (Free Crochet Pattern)
My favorite hobby is crocheting doll clothes. Using what I've learned from reading existing patterns, I create my own designs for Barbie.

Crochet a Sexy Dress for Barbie
Because showing some skin is getting more and more popular these days, this new design shows off Barbie's cleavage. However, it does so in a tasteful way and still looks wholesome from the waist down. Since it is supposed to be a sexy dress, I also made the top backless to match the look.
This is a free crochet pattern for a cleavage-baring dress for Barbie. It is specifically made for a Barbie Basics doll (or Model Muse body). For more information on the different Barbie body types available in the market, please visit my article called Crochet Clothes for Your Barbie Doll.
