Free Printable Sewing Patterns for Fashion Dolls Barbie and Tyler Wentworth
How to tell the difference between Barbie bodies? The classic shape has a barrel chest, tiny waist and 1966 stamped on her back. I've heard people complain about her boobs too big, but they're really not, it's just her rib cage! The new shape is more like an actual woman and says 1999 on the back, and has a bellybutton in the front. Simplicity Patterns commercial Barbie patterns say it in code "Barbie's new shapely curves".
There's also a 2006 version Barbie body that is only 11" tall and I don't think there's any commercial patterns for that.
