Figurin: design dresses for your doll

Figurin is a free fashion atelier in the browser for girls and boys aged 4 to 12. They create their doll, design a dress step by step, decorate it with drawings and accessories, and download real-size paper patterns to make the dress for real for their 29 cm Barbie-style doll, by sewing or gluing the fabric.

How it works

  1. Your doll: choose her skin tone and hair color.
  2. The silhouette: A-line, circle, princess, mermaid, column or bubble.
  3. The details: neckline, sleeves, bow, belt, ruffle, band or slit.
  4. Color & fabric: colors, prints (polka dots, stripes, gingham, flowers, peonies, dalmatian spots) and fabrics like satin, organza, linen or velvet.
  5. The tech sheet: the dress drawn flat, front and back, with its patterns.
  6. Your touch: draw by hand and add accessories like a hat, crown, bag or pearl necklace.
  7. The cover: the design goes on the cover of their own magazine, with their name.
