Clothing comes in many styles and varieties as much as clothing for humans, if not more, in most cases. Each individual's doll has a certain style to their fashion that reflects their "personality". Clothing is considered one of the most funnest part of customizing a doll, with most cases, each doll having a "whole wardrobe" of clothing to suite them. Much of the clothing is made of varied quality in both skill/technique and materials, which of course, ranges from poor to excellent. The better the quality, the higher the price (even costing more so than the human size version). This is because sewing at a smaller scale is considered much more difficult, leaving little room for mistakes. Therefore, skilled tailors in various styles and sizes are in high demand. The more styles and sizes a skillful tailor can do, the more in demand they are. Especially if such tailors offer custom commissions.
