Capture a little of Balenciaga’s glamour using your own fabric and sewn by your own hands. This sculptural gown was inspired by one of the designer’s own originals. The architectural lines will suit many 16-inch tall fashion dolls. As further inspiration, here’s a link to videos of 1960s Balenciaga fashion shows – attendance looks remarkably sparse in comparison to today’s celeb-laden shows, but there’s no mistaking the style.

Inspired by Balenciaga, a pattern for a sheath gown to fit most 16-inch fashion dolls.
