Barbie Crochet Ball Gown Dress Costume

This hand crocheted ball gown was made in a beautiful fern green and white and is reminiscent of ball gowns from the 1800's.

The top comes to a V in the front and has frilly ruffled white sleeves. On the front of the top is a pretty crocheted bow adorned with a pink ribbon rose.

At the bottom front of the skirt is a pleated, gathered ruffle of green crochet. The skirt is adorned with white crocheted lace in layered ruffles, curves and pink roses. On the center front bottom of the skirt is a white crocheted motif with a white crocheted rose.

She is holding a fan made of ribbon, a green crocheted flower, a pink rose and white fluffy feathers.

Her hair is swept up into beautiful curls and is adorned with a band of pearls, pink roses and a white feather. She is wearing a pretty pearl bead necklace.

 This enchanting gown was worked in fern green and white bedspread weight crochet cotton. 

This outfit took about two weeks to make and involves thousands of stitches.
