My favorite time period in clothing is whatever is current and modest! I love to sew clothes for my daughter’s look alike AG doll and see her excitement to dress her and “share” her world with her. I have no suggestions for new patterns as I am so pleased with the variety you offer.

Amy Mayen

My favorite fashion period for women was the mid 20’s. The feminist movement and economy created one of the most drastic changes in fashion, from materials used to length of dresses. Fashion history is fascinating.

I sew for pleasure and I have 3 beautiful granddaughters that love the doll clothes Team is makes for them. Made matching Halloween costumes for their dolls one year….had Carol tunnel surgery and you should have seen me sewing with one hand & a large bandaged stub. I was on a deadline. It was hilarious but worth it all when I became EXTREME GRAMIA for getting their costumes finished on time!

Linda in PA

December 28, 2017

My favorite era of clothing is the 1960’s. That’s the time period I was growing up in and everything was changing from very structured to flowing and easy. I’ve been sewing vintage patterns for my Grow-hair Crissy doll and they remind me of how everyone dressed then. I’d love to be able to create similar looks for my 18" My Imagination and Penelope dolls. Bell-bottom jeans, hot pants, halters and peasant tops, and jumpsuits – things that are easy and fun. And if any designers out there are interested in designing for these vintage dolls and making them a modern wardrobe, I’d love that, too. I think Crissy would look adorable in some of today’s fashions!

Theresa

December 28, 2017

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is 1900-1940s. I’d love to see a pattern for flour sack dresses and underwear, white cotton lace ‘lawn’ dresses, and peddle pusher shorts. Is someone making ‘angel tops’ popular in the early 1960’s? That would be cute too.

Elaine Niewind

I like a variety of styles.

Karley

December 28, 2017

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the 50’s. I love the skirts, peter pan collars, and penny loafers. The dresses were so feminine and fun. I really love the formal dresses with lots of tulle. A doll size 50’s prom dress would be adorable! And don’t forget a wrist corsage!

Hi, and hope you all had a Merry Christmas on this site.
As a 1960’s girl growing up, I must say it is one of my favourite eras. Colours came to eye popping brightness. Mini skirts under Maxi coats really caught the eye, I think these fashions are fun to recreate and some quite simple.

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is Roaring ‘20s. I have so many ideas for what I’d like to sew, I can’t just pick one—but a pattern with a lot of mix and match pieces so someone could put together their own “design” would work.

Kathy

December 28, 2017

Such a difficult choice to make! Today I think I would choose the 1930’s to 1940’s era. Although in a week, I might choose another era. I love the crisp, pleated skirts that many of the skirts sport from that time period. The Timeless Schoolgirl Skirt pattern from Forever 18 Inches that was used to make your vintage-inspired outfit is simply adorable. I’d love to see a skirt pattern with boxed pleats all the way around. Happy Holidays and a New Year full of newly designed patterns to sew.

Jeanna

December 28, 2017

Connie

December 28, 2017

I love the 1930s. Even as the world wide depression set in, fashion was emerging from the linear lines of the 1920s and becoming softer and more feminine. Designers such as Vionnet, Channel, Schiaparelli were becoming household names and were definitely part of the Hollywood glamour and glitz that made the depression less harsh. The introduction of man made materials made the new designs more affordable and the increased use of the zipper reduced bulk in clothing. Even children’s clothing became more play friendly with tee shirts and jeans becoming the clothing of middle class school children due to durability. Men’s clothing became more relaxed – the wide lapels and collars narrow through the 30s into the “classic” men’s profile of today -even in the colors and fabric patterns! The echos of 1930s designs for both men and women are every where in the “modern” look. The post-war designers such as Dior continued to build on the “new” look that was rudely interrupted by the austerity of WWII. My mom (who married in 1945) used a piece of sparkly pink wool and rayon she had gotten in Chicago for her “wedding suit” – the fabric purchased before war rationing for a Channel coat. After the war, fashion fabric was still very limited for several years, so mom said she was grateful that a Channel design had prompted her to buy the fabric and matching buttons. I only have the buttons today, but that story was an impetus for my historic interest in fashion. I would love to see some Channel, Vionnet, Schiaparelli, and other designers reflected in doll clothes!!!

Lin K

December 28, 2017

Amanda M

December 28, 2017

JUDY

December 28, 2017

My favorite era of clothing is the 60’s when I was in my teens and early 20’s. The fabrics had wild patterns and were fun to make. This year I bought a used 18 inch doll, Felicity, for fitting purposes as I sew for my granddaughter’s dolls. I think it would be fun to make some historical outfits for Felicityr once I finish the basic items for my granddaughter and a few girls in my Sunday School class.
