What colors do you tend to buy in doll clothing?

I like the same kind of colors that I wear, so lots of jewel tones and a nice, neutral black. My vinyl girls have me branching out into more pastel colors, too, though, as I prefer their look and feel without stain suits.

 

It depends heavily on the doll, as each of my dolls has their own color motif. Light neutrals and whites are always welcome, followed by mid-tone and dark neutrals. I'm drawn to a lot of jewel tones for my resin crew, but tend to air lighter and more pastel for my vinyl ones. My most common proper colors are ruby/burgundy for my resins and pink for my vinyls.

 

pastel definitely. It is what my character likes too

 

i generally love/gravitate towards earth tones or pastel tones :3 im excited to make my own too. i found some really pretty spring fabric in the pillow case area recently of my local thrift store!!

 

In terms of buying outfits, the ones I buy tend to be things that are beyond my skill level or that I don't enjoy sewing, like modern tailored outfits. Most of the outfits I buy are in dark or muted colours, e.g. suits for the "suit and tie job" type characters.

In terms of sewing, it's still mostly dark or muted colours. I use recycled fabric from old human clothes and bedlinen, which is worn and faded if it's served its original purpose, but has nice drape and wear and tear for doll clothes.
Most of my doll characters are on the "lower rungs" of society regardless of what kind of story they're in, so it makes sense for them to have more faded, worn clothes.

I do have some ideas for characters who wear brighter, more vibrant clothes, but the closest I have for one of those is a floating head whose body is on order, and I prefer to have bodies on hand before making any purchases or sewing any new outfits.

 

Short answer: I buy whatever colours best suit the doll.

Long answer: My blonde girl Cori with tan resin simply favours white and light neutrals with the possibility of warm pastel colours in the future. I've found that certain medium to dark tones either washes her out or makes her look too severe. I try to style up some of those pieces in order to salvage them. Goth girl Amara on the other hand, dresses almost exclusively in black and dark jewel tones. It's more that just her personal style, it's her brand and uniform.

 

I trend toward darker or neutral colors for my dolls, save one, who I have inexplicably deemed has to be pink. I do worry about staining with my color preferences though, so I check on them once in a while to make sure their costume hasn't stained them.

 

My dolls often wear clothes made from scraps of fabric I used for my clothes or from my old clothes So we share a palette of mauve, sage, blues, and white. But my bought clothes for them tend to be beige or shade of blue denim. And my Fairyland fullsets are blue, pink, purple, and black.

I like cool tones, beige, and white. Soft and summery. Though I’m going to make more autumn colored clothes for one of my characters, and add more black and dark tones for another.

 

I’ve never met a color…nope, not a single one…that someone in my expansive crew didn’t absolutely love.

 

This is very dependent on which doll I'm dressing, tbh. Each of them have separate color palettes, so some of my girls gravitate toward whites and pastels, while others go earth-tones or darker clothing. I'm a bit all over, but I am admittedly a sucker for white dresses.
