I've amended my barbie shorts pattern on this site to fit the lovely Curvy Barbie. Plus added a new top with a trendy frill across the shoulders.
I used Patons Soft cotton 4ply from my stash but any 4ply would do. Both the shorts and top can easily be lengthened by adding a few more rows.

I have The curvy Barbie crochet shorts and top and was confused as to where the frill pattern is? Are the armholes started after the 8 rounds of dc are made on the top? Thank you for making these patterns you are the only person that I have found that has crochet patterns on the net, and you offer them free, bless you! stillbecky2000@yahoo.com

DeleteYes the armhole shaping is after 8 rounds. If you follow the pattern exactly as given you will end up with the frill of the top. you will need to fold the frill down (see picture) and slip st it in place. I've amended the pattern to make this a bit clearer
Just made the top and it's great.ty for all the patterns
