Assemble your materials. Buy lace, chiffon, silk or cotton from your local fabric store or over the Internet. Buy tulle for wedding veils, satin ribbon for bows and sashes. Buy small quantities of these materials at craft stores in your area. You can even crotchet a Barbie doll wedding gown.

Recreate your wedding gown by buying similar materials and adapting the design for a Barbie doll. Even without a set pattern, a Barbie wedding dress is easy to make. Once you have the right materials, cut the arm holes and piece the fabric for a multi-layered skirt together. Use other Barbie wedding dress patterns as a guideline and then adapt it to your own original wedding gown style.
