The most ✨CURSED✨ Christmas project: Holiday Barbie 1997

I'm sorry your dress was ruined. It was soooo magnificent! Hopefully, someday, you'll give it another shot.

I wish he knew what DON'T TOUCH IT! LET ME DO IT! meant. 😡😡😡😭😭😭 Your trims were perfection.

That was the only holiday Barbie I ever had! She’s gorgeous and my absolute favorite!!! ❤ I hope she gets a do-over because I would love to see your creation!

My heart literally sank when you said the word rip. I’m so sorry this happened 😭

I am so sorry. It a lesson learnest many times in life. Never allow someone else do a job you can only do yourself. That is devastating. I am so so sorry.

It’s a shame you can’t get that guy to pay for what he did, it was his fault the dress was ruined, not yours!! The dress, from what I could see from the snippets, looks absolutely gorgeous, I hope you get a chance to try it again, and this time have someone (like a bodyguard but for clothes?) who can tell people to shove off and let you handle it, so all your hard work will truly be able to pay off!!

Oh my god 😱 that is horrific. I’m so sorry this happened

Wow it looks like you did an excellent job. The trims were just about exact! I have been pinning so many Barbies on Pinterest just out of boredom and it’s addicting bc I never knew there were so many different ones. But this one is one of my absolute favorites, the gown is the ultimate Christmas gown. From what I’ve seen, my favorite holiday or winter Barbie by far. Did u study theater? I have a BA in apparel design and the theater majors who sometimes used our sewing machines were insanely talented, like you! ❤🎄

I have this doll! I kind of accidentally played with her when I was little though, but I’ve always thought she was pretty! Asta, your holiday outfits are always beautiful and fun.

I’m so sorry the dress was torn. Save the trim, it was indeed perfect, and maybe try a redo someday. You had such vision, and it was beautiful and full of Christmas spirit. I love the concept of a light up dress too… maybe make a light up Cinderella dress? That’s a Barbie many of us had growing up and if her dress lit up, it would’ve been the coolest thing ever. (Hide some of the wires in the skirt layers, or make them attachable to a hoop skirt or something?) The outfit you wore instead was equally as stunning in an entirely different way. Gorgeous ❤️🎄

The dress is stunning....not cursed just not right now. I'm sure you'll even come back with improvements. Can't wait to see when she's done.😉

PLEASE TELL ME YOU'LL RETRY SOMEDAY BECUZ OMG THAT WAS THE PRETTIEST THING EVER AND U DESERVE TO SEE IT'S END AFTER ALL THAT😭😭

Wow! That looks STUNNING! Honestly, I can understand in the emotional after-wake and disappointment not wanting to wear it. But truly, I would (and probably others) love if you said screw it to light up and finished it anyways. That, or find a dressmaker or technician that could help you repair it. As for the sleeves: don’t make a REAL bow. Rather, have the back piece be able to separate from the arms, which could also function as normal sleeves that can snap on & off kinda thing. You could also do something more inspired like an elegant shawl that’s tied into a bow at the back (think of someone turning a regular scarf into an infinity scarf and then wearing as a shawl. The bow should be just in the lumbar (lower) back region)). But absolutely no pressure if it’s just too painful to return to. While closure is nice, sometimes we do really need to move on. Love you gorgeous creations. All the best! 🥰

I would still LOVE to see it on you even without the lights. From what I remember the Barie wasn't light up anyway so you just bringing it to life would be fabulous in itself

I would love to see you in that barbie gown without the led lights... oh please, oh please!

I love the Cinderella dress!! ❤

The dress came out so well! Please give this one another try. It should have its moment. ❤

I literally had this BARBIE! She was fabulous and so is your human size dress copie❤

Aww noes I have that Holiday Barbie! I'd love to see it irl! The ribbons were a perfect match. I'd prefer it without the lights actually. It changes the look. Perhaps use heavy duty wire edging in back to hold the ribbon bow up around your arms. Wishing you Good Luck <3

I have the barbie dress (from a vide-grenier) and girl, I get ya.
