This is by far my favorite item I've made. The red/white/blue stripes are glass beads that are individually hand sewn, that took a lot longer than crocheting the dress.:eek

The beads are so small that I barely found a needle small enough, and even then some of them broke. Even now, being better at crochet than I was back when I made this dress, I don't think I could have altered the pattern to crochet beads into it. :blush

Thank you very much Vicki, but no it's not my own design. I bought a booklet of patterns some years ago with "Holiday" Barbie dresses in it. I made every one in the book.;)
