Hello Lovelies!

So today's topic i about custom doll clothing construction!

One of our members :iconlexerj: put up a question on our wall about needing some help making a costume for a character concept doll, and I thought this would be a good chance to open up discussion on how we all go about making custom doll clothes.


I am a very big fan of draping myself. Draping being "hold it up to the doll, pin it, cut it sew it, type of thing. I tend to make my own patterns for my bigger LittleDead dolls (I don't think they're in this group because they aren't technically customized. If you want to see, check out my gallery under Dolls I think)

So what do you do? Do you use patterns? Handsew? Machine Sew? (Gosh those tiny stitches are hard to manage on a huge machine huh?)
If you do use patterns, where do you find them?

Let's discuss!

I was wondering if somebody could help me out. I am trying to make a Black Rock Shooter Strength costume that can fit either a barbie or a monster high doll (Probably a monster high doll). What I am looking for is a pattern or something on how to do it. It doesn't look real hard but if someone could help me or even make it for me that would be pretty awesome. I also am in need of a short white wig [link] If you could direct me anywhere that would be great. ^_^
