Thi is my second attempt at a Paradise Publications Crochet Collector Costume because the last had the same problem. I'm trying it on a TnT Barbie as I'm guessing she or a clone was the fit model. This is a pre Lady Paradise doll pattern and they're fatter than Barbie. The thread size is 10 as recommended, the hook is correct for gage, the initial chain was exactly right.
So why in the world is it too short? The top row should cover her breasts, the waist is where it should be. The width is correct and it fits her around.
