The very first time I saw Barbie in “Solo in the spotlight “I have a strong feeling that Mattel intended the gown to be sequined. In order to celebrate her 50th birthday, I made this gown with a strong influence from another version of this dress “Stunning in the spotlight”.
The dress was actually a column dress with netting flounce, fully lined with back zip closing. Since the gown was 100% hand sewn , the sequins had made sewing almost impossible, I had to remove all the sequins from the seams before sewing in order to let the needle past through the fabric. Moreover, due to the semi transparent nature of the sequined fabric I had to add another layer of lining or else Barbie’s undies will show through!! I guess the end result worth everything.
