Hat to Hem | Making Erika from Barbie Princess and the Pauper | Half-Scale Heroine @HattoHem | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
With the Barbie movie coming out this month, I realized this was the perfect time to fulfil a childhood dream. I loved Erika from Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper since it came out in 2004. She was brave and ambitious and, most important, she actually had dark hair! The only thing I loved more than Erika was her dress! I actually preferred the pauper dress to the princess dress! And now, today, I get to make it!
