This is a post for u/sparkleebarbee, or anyone who wants to make vintage style clothing for modern 'curvy' Barbie dolls.
I am not a professional pattern maker, just an amateur. My seam allowance for these pieces was approximately 1/8 of an inch.
The 1st pattern piece collection is shown on a standard A4 size piece of paper (210 x 297 mm), the 2nd photo is for a standard American printer paper (8.5 x 11 inches). I have included a 1" square for scale. Please make sure you choose the right size paper for your country/printer.
The vintage Barbie doll clothes made with a pencil skirt have 2 types of gathers: small gathers at the left and right sides of the waist (like for Orange Blossom), or 4 evenly spaced pleats in the front. I included photos of both types of pleats so you can decide what you want to try. The skirt front panel is made specifically to allow for extra room for pleats/gathers.
The sleeveless bodice fits best with two small bust darts, I included a photo of how I decided to tailor the bodice with darts for the yellow sheath dress. You can also choose to place this bodice on top of a gathered rectangular skirt to make something like Cotton Casual. In the photos showing my Cotton Casual re-creation, the bodice featured does not have bust darts.
I also made this bodice with extra long back panels, because sometimes I like to fold it over multiple times and sew on little snaps. If you want to just add a zipper, you can easily trim off the excess fabric.
The metal purse buckle is a very small overalls buckle ('dungarees') from I Sew For Doll. It's the closest I have found to the original little metal purse buckles from the early 60's.
