Five Top Dolls Patterns Clothes

By Doll article

Are you sewing dolls patterns clothes inspired by today's fashion trends, or are your dolls hopelessly out-of-style? Girls today want to dress their dolls in the same fashion items they want to wear themselves. They're influenced by the styles they see kids wearing on TV and in magazines. So, let's take a look at five of today's top fashion trends and consider how we can translate those styles into popular dolls patterns clothes.

These pretty, feminine tops are made of delicate fabrics, like lace, silk chiffon, translucent and lightweight knit cotton voile. They often feature an empire waistline and / or a belt tied in the back. They hang close to the body, are soft and flowing, never STARCH OR stiff.

2.) "Cigarette" jeans

These very tight-legged pants are usually worn with long tunic-like tops. They're great looking tucked into knee-boots or worn with ballet slippers. At the other end of the spectrum, we're also seeing very wide-legged pants and jeans. So, for an updated look, choose dolls patterns clothes with either very skinny or very wide legs legs.

3.) Layers over layers over layers

Short over long is the key to this look. Wear short-sleeves over long-sleeves, a short jacket over a long top, or a short vest over a long-sleeved dress over pants. The look is clean and uncluttered, with lots of solid colors. It's all about the 'lines' of the design, not the pattern on the fabric. You probably already have lots of dolls patterns clothes you can use to create this look. Experiment. It's just a new way of combining old 'basic' pieces.

The best new is a textured knit sweater, knee-length design wrapped with a loose hood. It's worn over a one-color long top and skinny pant combo. Add knee-boots and a big bag for a totally pulled-together look. The second new 'hoodie' shape is the short-sleeved hoodie, worn over a long-sleeved tee or sweater. It ties together two strong trends: the hoodie and layering.

5.) Opposites attract: Mixing hard and soft

Puffy used with textures are smooth, flat fabrics to create visual contrast. The short 'puff' jacket is worn with skinny spandex pants. Fuzzy fur peeks out the top of smooth leather knee-boots. A fluffy chiffon skirt, made of layers-upon-layers of ruffles is worn with a clingy knit silk tee.

So, get started! You have plenty of information about the new apparel trends to help you select dolls patterns clothes and create a closet full of great clothes for your dolls. Now, get inspired and release your inner fashion designer.
