These past few weeks we've had a wonderful after-summer, totally calling for a light, comfy and, above all, stylish get-up to go shopping. This outfit is exactly right! In these super-fashionable colors (cool teal, vibrant magenta and rich brown are all the talk around the catwalk these days!), your dolls is sure to turn some heads along the way!

Putting it together is not as easy, because we'll be making pants — but with our help, it will be a breeze!

For the top, you'll need two identical pieces: front and back. Sew them together as shown in drawing 2 — on the sides and on the shoulders.

For the bag, you'll need a rectangular piece of fabric and a long ribbon-like piece for the strap (as long or short as you want). Sew the rectangular piece together as shown in drawing 2, on the sides. Turn inside out and attach the strap to the sides.

A whole wardrobe full, and nothing to wear: Our dolls face these problems every day! But we gotta hand it to them, it's difficult to pick an outfit when you have so many outfits to choose from. Today, our doll is deciding what to wear with her stylish red pants: an oversized, graphic sweater? Maybe a short jacket with gold buttons? A pink top eighties crop top? Or an ever so elegant flower blouse with butterfly sleeves?

Maybe she should try them on and see what looks best.

Well, that doesn't help at all: everything looks stunning!
You know what? Next week, we'll take a detailed look at every outfit, and for now, let's concentrate on those drop dead gorgeous pants!

Here's a very handy and clear guide to how you can make those pants yours:

1- Cut out two pants-pieces. The shape is exactly the same, but take a closer look at the dotted lines: When you match up the colored lines, that's where you'll be sewing!

2- Start with the green and blue dotted lines. Fold both pieces closed and sew along the dotted lines.

3- Turn one of the pieces inside out.

4- Now, slide the inside-out piece inside the other one as shown. Make sure the seams line up.

5-6- Sew along the pink and orange line as shown. You can leave a small part open so your doll's beautiful butt can fit, but if you use stretchy fabric and regular Barbie doll, or even better, our very own DressYourDoll-doll, you can sew along the whole edge and it'll fit nice and snuggly.

7- Now turn everything inside out, and your pants are done!
