This comment was so interesting to me because it really looks so much like the Dominican flag! I was wondering when the republic was formed in its current state and did some research and discovered the Fourth Republic was formed in 1966 and this Barbie was from the 60’s. Such a strange coincidence. If barbies were available in the DR at that time I’m sure this one meant a lot to a few little girls. If not, then maybe to some who emigrated to the US mainland at least.
When I was three years old my grandmother from England made me a beautiful pink dress and jacket and a matching one for the Barbie she got for my birthday it was absolutely wonderful. You making this dress reminded me of that.
I remember years ago (back in the 90s) there was a talk show in which fans of Barbie were featured and it included a woman who made life size versions of Barbie fashions (and Skipper too!). I found it fascinating to see what life sized looked like. It was nice to see you do the same and with a very colorful dress as well! Well done!
You could totally take after Bernadette and sew on extant pockets that are hidden in the gathers and are connected to the waist hem so that it doesn't weigh it down when you put anything in the pocket
I'm so happy to see your assistant looking well! I hope she will have no more health problems! And your thread drawer is delicious.. and the dress is so cute!
very interesting and informative: use of upholstery thread for gathering; how to sew between the two lines of gathering threads; keeping the big patch pockets clear....
I was born in 1956 and received a brunette 2nd run Barbie. Decades later my mom had a doll expert polish her up & make a bridal gown. It's in a custom shadowbox and I love it still. Bottom line, I adore your Barbie replicate vidros!💕💖💕
Who else wishes that she would do a Collaboration with Barbie company and McCall’s company to make patterns for us?!!!!!! anyone else?( I rely on voice to text to make long comments due to delixia or however you spell it And sometimes forget that it doesn’t catch the words I say correctly !)
McCall’s already has & she has several patterns out through them. I have almost all of them & they are wonderful. You can find them anywhere McCall’s patterns are sold.
They way I genuinely gasped when you said you don't like pockets in skirts made me laugh way too hard. Anywho, you look like a special edition vintage stamp. I love it.
I'm curious if she dislikes all pockets for skirts or just poorly placed pockets 🤔 because a well placed pocket doesn't bulge or distort shape and is soooo liberating 😄
I can't help but imagine what would happen if I looked at that dress with the olden days 3D glasses (red/blue). And yes to a come back to barbie dress serie 👗
The dress turned out so good! This series always makes me want to make me sized versions of the crazy mid-late 90s Barbie outfits I played with as a small child
Omggg!!!!!!! Yes I’ve missed the Barbie videos! I collect vintage Barbies and I have this dress on a Midge doll, and her hair matches your hairstyle perfectly!
The school counselor in my middle school wore doll dresses every day and I didn't appreciate it enough back then. Seeing that perfectly square shape of the neckline brought back memories!
The double row of running stitches for the gathers is such a good tip. It’s kind of obvious when you see it but it certainly never occurred to me in all the years I’ve been sewing! So thank you for that excellent tip. The dress turned out really well and looks great on you. 😘
I love how you explain seeing terms and techniques as you vlog. Very helpful. Also, you are THE FIRST person I've heard describe gathering and attaching it like you do (and I watch A TON of sewing videos!) I have always done it your way and can never understand why the instructions say otherwise. I think your shallower hem works perfectly with the rick rack trim. Your analysis and thoughts on the project seem spot on. What a fun dress!
This is an interesting idea, I collect some Barbies too. You pulled this full size version off beautifully. Additionally as someone who researches fashion doll history, this is the modern evolution of the fashion doll. Keep working this topic, it’s unique.
I love this dress so much, you look absolutely amazing! We can see how much skill you have when such seemingly simple garments just look so polished and perfect!
This looks amazing! Obsessed with the recreation of the scale, like we don't notice it on the dolls but doing it life sized is so attention grabbing and fun
It feels so good to hear you talk positively about a project. You often don't seem very pleased with the outcome, although mere mortals like me can never figure out what your problem is LOL. This dress is adorable and VERY much like the original. Good job!
You’re just soooo talented. The dress is adorable. I remember that Barbie; my grandmother had one, that I used to play with as a little girl. Well done.
It’s a lovely dress! I grew up in the 60’s and I think the front neckline is a little high. It’s a boat neck which goes across the top of your collarbones.
This and your holiday dresses are my favorite series of yours. You make complicated techniques accessible to beginners and it's a pleasure to watch your processes. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the world of TH-cam content!
Whaaaaaat!! We can only get those big, yellow-tubed Gütermanns in black and white here in the Netherlands! And the shop here that sells them, only sells them to ateliers (which I luckily am).
Oh my word! This dress is so adorable!! I think one of my favorite outfits from back in the day was the Suburban Shopper costume. It had the cutest hat that went with it! I wanted to look just like my Barbie doll when I'd put that outfit on her. Thanks for the video.
Awesome work, Angela. I love how this dress looks on you. I am too old to have played with Barbie dolls and couldn’t tell you anything about their outfits, but love how you are remaking the clothes life-sized.
I love the Barbie dress series! Do you have any plans for Barbie from the 80’s? As that was my childhood, those are the most familiar. I’d love to see Peaches and Cream Barbie, or I remember a red and white velvet one with hearts.
I have a lifelong admiration for vintage Barbie. I love this series. I understand it would be quite a challenging project but I would love for you to do #1646 Magnificence. It's one of my absolute favorite Vintage Barbie fashions. The design of the skirt/coat is very unique and the flocked floral design on the pink chiffon just screams vintage Barbie to me.
Hi Angela! I love your sewing videos and sewing vlogs, I've probably watched and rewatched all of them by now (: I love your videos so much because what you're doing is always very well explained, funny and genuine, not to mention the garments you make are absolutely beautiful! I also love that you make such elaborate things with basically just a straight stitch on your machine and hand sewing, it really inspires me to use what I know and have on hand to make something really nice, so I'm going to try and sew my own dress for a friends wedding this year. I know theres like a million youtube tutorials on the stitches you use regularly (slip/ladder, whip, hem stitching), but if you ever had the time/desire to make your own I think that'd be really cool!! Wishing you and yours all the best!
I'm excited to see the return of the Barbie dress series! It's so fun to see them recreated in full-size.
The dress remember the Dominican flag 🇩🇴. I am from Dominican republic. Maybe I can do it for our Independent Day 😁

That would be amazing!
❤💙
DO ITTTtt!!!! Happy independence!
I didn't notice that at first but it really does. You should totally make this dress for D.R. Independence day.😁
I always love the barbie recreations! This one is so bold and really charming. The giant rickrack is crucial here!
Right I didn't even know rick rack that large existed I thought she had made some

As a Barbie collector and a costume designer, I love this so much.

And your thread drawer is delicious.. and the dress is so cute!
very interesting and informative: use of upholstery thread for gathering; how to sew between the two lines of gathering threads; keeping the big patch pockets clear....
Dental floss works well as 'heavy duty' gathering thread as well, in a pinch...
This has made me want to make an inspired Fancy free Harley Quinn dress
I'm so glad that I'm not the only person who thought Harley when seeing this dress!
I think red color blocks with any dark counter part would cause that

Thank you for the gathering lesson! I have had a problem with that. I will be doing this on my next skirt.
Who else wishes that she would do a Collaboration with Barbie company and McCall’s company to make patterns for us?!!!!!! anyone else?( I rely on voice to text to make long comments due to delixia or however you spell it And sometimes forget that it doesn’t catch the words I say correctly !)
McCall’s already has & she has several patterns out through them. I have almost all of them & they are wonderful. You can find them anywhere McCall’s patterns are sold.
@@TheWhiteMistress She meant to work in conjunction with Hasbro ("Barbie's Company") and McCall's to create life-sized vintage Barbie patterns.
@@Vivi-uu6rm oh okay, that would fun too.
What is a Kalab? Surely you know it's "collab" short for "collaboration"???
@@XX-cj9nu seems like we all understood what she meant, so surely you didn’t post a rude comment?
I can't say I like this dress, but dang, your excitement and craftmanship is infectious. 💚
Thank you for mentioning options for making the pockets work better, for those of us who MUST have them. :)
They way I genuinely gasped when you said you don't like pockets in skirts made me laugh way too hard. Anywho, you look like a special edition vintage stamp. I love it.
I'm curious if she dislikes all pockets for skirts or just poorly placed pockets 🤔 because a well placed pocket doesn't bulge or distort shape and is soooo liberating 😄
I think she's clarified this over the years and, yes, it depends.
Omg, I love your tiny unicorn scissors!
And the thred-drawer. So much mor convenient than the racks that catch dust. And such a pleasure to the eye 😍
I can't help but imagine what would happen if I looked at that dress with the olden days 3D glasses (red/blue). And yes to a come back to barbie dress serie 👗
You look cuter than Barbie!!!!! I had doubts about the dress, but you were right!
What a fun dress 😲So bold! I love the white border.
Have you ever thought of making an outrageous Barbie outfit, like from the 80’s dolls? Love this series!
The dress turned out so good! This series always makes me want to make me sized versions of the crazy mid-late 90s Barbie outfits I played with as a small child
Omggg!!!!!!! Yes I’ve missed the Barbie videos! I collect vintage Barbies and I have this dress on a Midge doll, and her hair matches your hairstyle perfectly!
HOORAY!!! A new video, a new year, I’m a happy camper! Thank you Angela!
I love these Barbie dress recreations, they're always so fun!

The Barbie dress recreations are some of my favourite videos.
Why is Barbie not sponsoring you for these?! Incredible!
I have missed the Barbie series! Glad to have more!
This is an interesting idea, I collect some Barbies too. You pulled this full size version off beautifully. Additionally as someone who researches fashion doll history, this is the modern evolution of the fashion doll. Keep working this topic, it’s unique.
That gathering tip was mind blowing!!! Thanks for sharing.
This dress turned out so beautiful and flattering, love the vintage statement it makes
Your skills and imagination knows no bounds! hats off to you!!
ANGELA. THAT GATHERING TIP JUST CHANGED MY LIFE!
I love this dress so much, you look absolutely amazing! We can see how much skill you have when such seemingly simple garments just look so polished and perfect!
This looks amazing! Obsessed with the recreation of the scale, like we don't notice it on the dolls but doing it life sized is so attention grabbing and fun
Another excellent video Angela! The Barbie dress idea is great. Love it when you do these. Stay healthy and keep sewing! 🥰🥰🥰
I used to play with my aunt’s 1960s Barbies when I was little and they had this dress! :O never thought I’d see this again
That's cool!
Beautifully done! Looking forward to more doll clothes for people!
I like the pockets when they are open. Love it!
This is AMAZING. I love everything about it. Wonderful! (And as always: nails on POINT!)
It feels so good to hear you talk positively about a project. You often don't seem very pleased with the outcome, although mere mortals like me can never figure out what your problem is LOL. This dress is adorable and VERY much like the original. Good job!
This turned out so well. Everything is so clean and satisfying
While watching this, I found myself thinking that it would be wonderful to see your rendition of a Alice in Wonderland “Queen of Hearts” dress.
YES!!!!!! I agree
THANK YOU for the quick and dirty gathering tutorial. OMG It has been so perplexing to me!! Beautiful job on the dress too!
I love the way this dress turned out!
You’re just soooo talented. The dress is adorable. I remember that Barbie; my grandmother had one, that I used to play with as a little girl. Well done.
I love that your nail varnish matches your project!!
your barbie dresses are all fantastic, this is no exception. so lovely!
Angela, you are so creative, such a fun time spent with you. Keep inspiring.
Such a cute garment and fun process. Plus great tips all throughout your video, thank you! I love the Barbie copies. Hope you do more of them.
This turned out so cute! I love the idea of doing life-size Barbie dresses 😃
Oh my goodness, this is GLORIOUS!!!!
Such skills and such elegance. Another lovely project!
So enjoy your projects...this one turned out really well Angela.
It’s a lovely dress! I grew up in the 60’s and I think the front neckline is a little high. It’s a boat neck which goes across the top of your collarbones.
I love this series!
I love the recreation of the Barbie dresses!
This and your holiday dresses are my favorite series of yours. You make complicated techniques accessible to beginners and it's a pleasure to watch your processes. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the world of TH-cam content!
Honestly I didnt think I'd like the large bold color blocking in full scale, but this is absolutely STUNNING.
This is just the cutest! What a great idea!
Whaaaaaat!! We can only get those big, yellow-tubed Gütermanns in black and white here in the Netherlands! And the shop here that sells them, only sells them to ateliers (which I luckily am).
I love the diversity of projects you tackle; this one is so different from the last dress you sewed and they both turned out so great!
I'm.... obsessed with this dress. I love this series
This dress is very cute! Really happy you are doing more Barbie recreations.
I love this dress. I really enjoy the Barbie recreations. This is my favorite series.
just an excellent dress. Did not think i would enjoy upscaling a dolls dress. But this looks awesome and you did an awesome job. Love love it. xx
Absolutely love the Barbie series!
How did I miss this!! Setting this a week late, but better than never. Love your work!
One, I have thread drawer envy. Two, that's a great idea on gathering the skirt, I'll have to try that. Three, I want to give Persephone all the pets.
I would love to see Barbie's Friday Night Date outfit. I think it's so cute! And looks like it might be up your alley.
The style of this dress is incredibly flattering on you!
This is one of my favorite barbie dresses and I'm excited to see how it turns out!
Very fun project. It turned out great.
I love the care you take in the details. The dress is so cute!
Yes! This dress is beautiful on you. Lovely job.💙❤💙❤
That your nails match the dress is 10/10 for me
I love your Barbie lifesize creations!
Oh my word! This dress is so adorable!! I think one of my favorite outfits from back in the day was the Suburban Shopper costume. It had the cutest hat that went with it! I wanted to look just like my Barbie doll when I'd put that outfit on her. Thanks for the video.
Awesome work, Angela. I love how this dress looks on you. I am too old to have played with Barbie dolls and couldn’t tell you anything about their outfits, but love how you are remaking the clothes life-sized.
Your "Barbie" dress turned out beautifully. The colors are so vibrant and look amazing on you. Great job!
The green hair suits you so much~~ and the dress is so cute and cheerful^^
So adorable. I'd love to see some sort of original barbie type formal dress.
This was so amazing. I'm going to find the other Barbie dresses. Yes, I subscribed. Keep up with the great ideas and work.
I love the Barbie dress series! Do you have any plans for Barbie from the 80’s? As that was my childhood, those are the most familiar. I’d love to see Peaches and Cream Barbie, or I remember a red and white velvet one with hearts.

It looks so interesting! Good job Angela!

This would be a GORGEOUS apron pattern
This was a joy to watch. Well done. Respect.
The dress is lovely, and I love the matching nail polish!
This is just adorable!
Wow on the thread collection 💕👌🏾🌷
Yes I've been rewatching all of this series I love it.
We love coordinating nails!
