The Latidoll yellow clothing thread

Thanks for your compliments on my jeans Clochette, they are indeed small but I like to make them as realistic as possible. I hate jeans that just look 'tubes' or as my friend so funnily put it 'Walmart Specials'!!!! My girls seem to like them. I make smaller ones too, for the Orient Doll So and they are stocked by Denver Doll Emporium, and at the moment I'm being hounded by several people to make them for the Lati White, both the tiny and the new size, but I'm not sure I really want to...we shall see!!!

Thanks for the tip Clochette. And by the way you could own a bazillion dolls and I'd be happy as pie for you becasue I know you love each and every one to bits.
Dambuster/ Your jeans are amazing. I've tried the whole working front pockets thing and my hats are off to you. Also, the way they look like they've been worn. A lot of tiny jeans I've seen look like the Levi's of my youth. It took 2 years to wear them in to the point they were comfy. And by then they didn't fit anymore!

 

Thanks Spampy, I know what you mean about the 'aging' on them. I've actually got it down to how I like it now although I have ruined a couple of pairs of little jeans on the way as I get a bit carried away and end up 'aging' them too much. I wouldn't like my buyers to say 'those jeans are just too old and tatty for my kids'!!!

Once you get the hang of the front pockets, its really easy, I might try them next on the So size ones, just to see, but I don't want to make them bulky in the body. I sometimes put belt loops and sometimes don't, because I don't want the girls to look all fat in the middle!!!

I think that's what makes them look so realistic. Scale is so important. If they have tons of detail and are well made, but the scale is off, they just don't look real. I've never attempted belt loops just for that reason. I figured they'd end up looking like they had a slinky wrapped around them.

 

Exactly and I try to make them the best fit possible, so they don't need a belt as they'd hardly fall down!!!

 

I have a rough idea from your "Christmas Tree", which is breathtaking!

Your newer dolls are amazing, from the ones I saw in Austin.

Do you have the Grown Up Pury in Yellow? I love her.

Although this is a Yellow Lati thread, I have made Lati white jeans, but sold out in Austin last August.

Once I get this huge order out this week, I will revamp my pattern and get more produced. I love the sparkly studs on this pair:



My little jean jackets for Lati Yellow have the sparkly studs, but haven't put any on the jeans yet. Next weeks project!!

Now I'm no administrator or anything here, but I think maybe this should be put in the Lati White thread Mary-lee.

 

Yes, I was lucky enough to get one. She's a lot paler than I'd expected, one of the few "white" dolls I own. She's been packed during the move, it seems like forever. Hopefully I'll be able to unpack her in the next week.

I've made a couple of things for Lati Yellow, mostly some dresses using the pattern they have online and some basic pants/shirts. I'm working on a Renfaire dress for that size as well:

Georgia (Lami) and Daisy (Pury) in basic dresses made from the Lati pattern:




Georgia in Renfaire prototype (excuse the craptastic overexposed picture). I think I have the pattern done, I now have to make one in the fabric I'm planning on using. This was just cheapo $1 a yard fabric, so it's pretty meh looking:



Most of my sewing has focussed on the Yo/BC size, since that's what's popular here in SoCal, but hopefully I'll be able to diversify into the smaller sizes soon.

 

Clochette, I like the middle photo where your little sweetie is looking out of the window...her little dress is cute too.

 

I love the dress in the last photo!! You had that one in Austin!! She looks fantastic in it. Well, they all look fantastic.

I have one pattern book (knitting) for Lati Yellow, the original size, not SP. Adapting some of my Riley patterns for SP lati!

Your Pury, sorry, Daisy is adorable - I have Lina - her sister! And 2 Laches coming. Gotta love da boys!

Great photos, you have a fantastic eye for the camera.

Ah, thank you all for your kind comments...though I wish I could take credit for the first two pictures, they are the work of others, as my photography skills sucketh mightily. I think the first one was taken by Mercy, and the second by Merethian. Only the overexposed craptastical shot is my own :/

I never learned to knit or crochet even big things, I can't even imagine the tiny needles y'all must use for those.

 

There must be something about these Lati Yellow dolls, I couldn't believe how many things I knitted for Lami in the last few weeks. She has more items this month than any of the other dolls I knit for.
Here is one of them. Don't want to burden you with too many photos.

Cheers
May

 

Oh my goodness that is just brilliant, I want it.....! My Lunita is saying this is just her style and colour!
Keep up the good work Maisiedoats.

 

Yes indeed.

I have made enough new things for Lati Yellow to create a second pattern book (I have 12-14 items in each book).

They are lovely dolls indeed.

Oh May that is precious. I think my Miel needs one. My grandma has tried to teach me to knit for 43 years. And I tried, I really did. But I just never had that love for it. So I think I really neeeed a sweater from you!

PS Could you PM me with where you got your buttons?

 

Has anyone found a good source of shoes for Lati Yellow? I am using Marley runners for my SP lati, with laches coming, I need more boots than shoes.

We have been experimenting with leather and have designed some exceptional coats for him. Just patiently waiting for Laches (both sizes) now.

SP fits Marley, so far Riley shoes fit Lati Yellow, but what about boots???

Thanks
Mary-Lee

 

I have been getting shoes and boots for the Lati Yellow SP from Judy at Juju's dolly mall.

The 37mm shoes and boots fit well. I also have several pair of the Boneka shoes for them-in size 37 mm as well.
I got mine here:

Thanks so much!!! I will check her out.

Oh, she has some nice stuff!!
