Favorite BJD Fashion Styles?

I have a little of everything in the crew at this point. There's a Mori girl and one in Lolita frufru. A few EGL and aristocratic Goth-types. A guy in rockstar boots and black leather. Another in ancient Near Eastern traveler's robes. A flashy Dandy. A lady in 18th century gowns and fancy powdered wigs. Two Edwardian adventurers. A couple of kids in jeans and sneakers. A few adults who look like they just got back from brunch at the country club. A guy in a toga. A gal dressed like a Jedi... And then there's that mermaid wearing nothing but a smile and a string of pearls.

Quite a few of my gang spend their time in traditional Asian outfits, though, so I'd have to call that my "favorite" look. Those outfits are typically Japanese or Chinese, based on the styles of various periods, and with wildly varying degrees of formality and accuracy. (Read: Some of the outfits in my collection are much more "authentic" to their original, human-scale historical counterparts than others. Which bothers me not at all, but can be a serious personal bugbear for others-)

 

My dolls tend to end up in casual modern clothes, mostly stuff I like but would never wear myself. I've done a little fancy historical costuming though, because I own a book of 1870s fashion patterns. That's fun stuff.

 

I prefer modern/urban styles.

 

My preference is high fantasy (particularly things that look fairy-like), but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of that. Fairyland outfits are gorgeous but they don’t seem to sell them separately and I don’t want to buy fullsets just for the clothes.

So far I’ve been making do with some of the fancier outfits from Volks, which are lovely but the style is a bit different from what I want.

 

This might be a bit niche, but I love bright and loud clothes, especially clown aesthetics! It's a huge shame that I struggle to find anything of the sort though, everything is either too muted in colour for me or doesn't fit the fun style I have in mind. So many serious clothes, so few poofy pants >8T

 

Elegant/cute/casual

 

i adore egl and sweet lolita on dolls it makes me feel nostalgic though i mostly own goth/emo style clothes

 

I dress mine in modern clothing. Usually outfits that I wish I could wear myself lol

 

My favourites are goth/lolita and visual kei pretty much all mine mostly dress like that.

 

Definitely androgynous style. A style that fits both male and female. My crew porlly kicked a fuss everytime I dress them up femininely. And corsets. OOOOO I love corsets on my boys

 

Gosh, I just really like clothes, but I'm especially drawn to anything that looks old-timey and otherworldly and/ or has fantasy elements. I seemed to have developed a real hanfu weakness as of late.

 

I like practicing my design skills on my dolls, so contemporary, elegant and at the moment - crocheted

P.S. Need to take better pics of the last outfit... *sigh*

 

I love vintage style! I will never get tired of it

 

I love uniforms, actually! Outfits that take inspiration from school uniforms, nurse's/doctors uniforms, mechanic's jumpsuits, Chef's uniforms, even prison uniforms. I'm not big on military uniforms, though... which is unfortunate since they're one of the more common types. I'm obsessed with sailor-style uniforms though, 5 of my dolls have sailor style uniforms on right now.

I also like goth looks, but they're sort of a crutch. If I don't know what to do with a doll I'll put them in an all-black outfit, sometimes with a Wednesday-esque peter pan collar if I'm feeling ambitious.

 

I love street wear and realistic everyday clothing. My crew of 8 SD size dolls are all uni students.

 

I honestly have no clue how to describe their style. Maybe "Instagram Baddies"? I also enjoy streetwear and dressing them up in cosplay!

 

I definitely have a very high fantasy look for all of my dolls. Very vibrant colors with flowy clothing pieces and hair accessories is usually where I lean. However, I do have one doll coming in whose going to shell my OC and I'm excited for that since she'll be dressed in more modern clothing but it'll be kind of fringe clothing since that's her type of styel
