What kind of fashion style do you typically gravitate towards for your dolls?

Each of my dolls has a different style. But it would take a long time to list them all here.

 

At the moment I'm really liking korean fashion so aiming towards that kind of style

 

Gosh, my dolls are all lace, lace, sheer materials in the Victorian or gothic style or epic kimonos and ancient robes.

 

My dolls lean towards lolita fashion-esque items- lace, frills, lots of details. I wear that style irl though, so that's probably why.

 

I'd describe the style of my dolls as "Urban fantasy" - typically they wear whatever people from the modern era would, BUT I also like to give them some fantasy items as well, such as swords or bows. And who cares if it doesn't make any sense, it's fun!

 

I like dresses, wide leg pants and skirts because it makes it easier to move their legs around without getting caught in their joints.

For style, I prefer fantasy and clothes that aren’t too modern. But, I do make exceptions when I love the look. Sweaters are cute. Scarves and hats make me happy. If it has a bit of whimsy to it, I just adore it.

 

Yes! Same here about the lace and sheer materials but instead of a Victorian vibe (not opposed to it tho!) I prefer more of a woodland vibe. I really like the morikei aesthetic that was popular a while back and it has a lot of those Victorian touches while being a little more simple.

 

Ah that is amazing topazrain- I love the morikei aesthetic. I definitely have a few pieces that lean a bit more morikei vs Victorian for my resin crew. What are your favorite companies to purchase clothing for morikei aesthetic/style?

 

I used to find things by Angela Studio, Volks, and indie artists on Etsy but I don't see those kind of fashions anymore. Hoping to find more on the secondhand market now!

 

I am wishing you all the luck! Dollyteria might also have some morikei clothing too. I feel like they carry a lot of different styles.

 

I make and wear historical-style clothing. I work professionally with clothing history and extant garments. I try so hard to not make every single doll I own look historical- and I usually fail, haha. Oops. I guess it's what I have the most experience sewing/drafting?

One of my o.t. dolls is in kind of a stylized 1868-9 look (albeit with her hair down, which would have been a no-no for adult women back then in public) and the other had an 1840s ball gown as her main outfit before I lost it in a fire- she's wearing Azone clothes now; I need to sew for her again. I've also had a minifee with a Renaissance aesthetic (I learned how to make a boned kirtle for her; that was really fun!) and my first BJD ever was in very badly-executed late 18th century dresses.
