When in doubt, take an existing Barbie T-shirt of similar and rip out the stitches and trace it on paper to make a new pattern. You could do this with any piece of clothing. It’s kind of like sewing from end-to-beginning. It wouldn’t hurt to try, that’s what I have done before. Also, make sure the material you use is stretchy to fit over the head, arms, etc. properly! Have fun whatever you do! ;o)
