My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the 50’s. I also like some early American styles.
My favorite era for fashion is 20’s and 30’s. Just some of my all time favorite styles.. I would love to see more teenage and younger adult type patterns from then.
My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the 1920’s, I’d love to see a pattern for a flapper dress or a dressy dress from that era. Fashion was making big changes during this era and there was a lot of high fashion clothing. Hard to pick just one outfit from the 1920’s. I have to say it is very hard to pick just one era as I really am fond of many of the fashion eras.
“My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the 1920’s I’d love to see a pattern for flappers or a jumpsuit.
My granddaughters would love this. I’ve made modern dresses for their dolls and they can’t seem to have enough.
My favorite era of clothing and fashion is… Today! but based on clasdic lines and timeless design. I want my girl and boy dolls to use fresh modern fabrics and have a little detail that makes a classic line sparkle. I’d love to see a pattern for classic loafers shoes that can be customized in Penny loafers, or tassel loafers, or the tops shortened to make moccasins slippers, or add elastic boring at the side seam and a toe guard to make them look like Keen slip ons… I love hacking patterns, but hacking depends on having a really well fitting basic pattern to start with.
“My favorite era of clothing and fashion is 1940s. I’d love to see a pattern for a winter dress! “
MY FAVORITE ERAS OF CLOTHING AND FASHION ARE THE 40’S AND 50’S. I’D LOVE TO SEE MORE PATTERNS FOR THOSE ERAS.
Beautiful clothe and doll’s
I like contemporary styles with heirloom details. So in that vein, contemporary patterns with pintucks, smocking, and other heirloom details would be nice. Thanks to all of you for the opportunity to win these great products!
My favorite are clothing styles of the 20’s.
My favorite era of clothing and fashion is… ‘50’s, as Doris Day wore or Jackie Kennedy, they had such great style.
I’d love to see a pattern for their hats and dresses. Thank you, love your patterns already ❤️
My favorite era is Federal. I would love to see a pattern for a Spencer jacket.
My favorite era is the 1940’s. I would like to see patterns for formal ware. I also would like more patterns that are not made for knits only.
I have to go with the fabulous 50’s. I was born in 1950 and loved growing up in the 50’s and 60’s. I have a large bag of preschool and school dresses that I wore, that my mom made for me. I can’t seem to part with them. Maybe I could make a 50’s dress for my granddaughter’s AG. It would need to be a pretty simple pattern though! I like the tie back bows on the dresses.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I love reading the comments.
I love the clothing from the 40s and 50s. The tailoring was beautiful.
I would like to enter! My favorite era of clothing and fashion is Victorian, and I’d love to see a pattern for a fancy southern belle dress.

My favorite era of clothing I the 20’s I would love to see some flapper patterns along with the accessories to go with
My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the Victorian Era. I’d love to see a pattern for a royal Victorian gown
My favourite era of clothing and fashion is… probably either the classic style or the 20s though the 40s. I like the outfits that would look nice on someone even today that are modest and cute.
I just love to sew, anything that strikes my fancy. No particular favourites as I am a professional polymer clay doll maker and just love to dress them.
Wow, how cute! My grand daughter’s name is Betsy, well, Elizabeth, but she has always been known as Betsy. Would love for her to have a doll and the cute patterns to go with it! Thanks for the chance to win them!
My favorite clothing era is the Roaring Twenties. I would like to see patterns for flapper dresses and cloche hats.
I have just been blessed with a brand new granddaughter last night and would love to be able to make some clothes from the 80’s . The era of her mom. It is so much fun to see the clothing of all the eras and be able to explain who wore what and when
My favourite era is the current one actually because I love to see the dolls in matching outfits with my daughters.
My holiday wishes to all!
What a difficult task it is to pick just one era. My first choice would be the Roaring 20’s, focusing on the glitz and glam, cloches, and “flapper” jewelry!
I love all fashion eras, but have mostly been sewing little girl dresses, pajamas, skirts and tops. I sew for my granddaughter and two nieces, as well as for a friends granddaughter, so pretty much sew what they ask for. I love the little romper shown with this giveaway, and I love Nanea, she is beautiful. Thank you Liberty Jane for this giveaway, it’s incredible. ❤️
I can’t pick a favorite era, I like so many. I would like to see more patterns for boy dolls.
“My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the eighteenth century but I like anything historical from medieval times to the 1970s. I’d love to see a pattern for an astronaut suit, or anything career oriented that encourages children to aspire, learn, dream and play all at the same time."
My favorite era is the post war years of the 40’s. Women were emulating men’s wear but with skirts and touches of floof. Perhaps a suit and blouse. Ike’s jacket evolved into the disco jacket I also love. That style with the suggestion of motorcycle muscle is somehow romantic.
My favorite era is 1950’s. Best dresses.
My favorite era of clothing and fashion is modern. I’d love to see a pattern fashioned after some of Princess Kate’s beautiful modest clothes.
I love the era of the 50’s and 60’s for fashion. So many different patterns to try.

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is anything near World War II. Love that time period in general. The 1920’s are a close second though. These are cute patterns!

My favorite era is modern I make doll clothes for my great grand daughter s dolls so any thing that is easy on and off is fine

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the 1970’s and I always enjoy 70’s patterns, as my Julie doll can attest to, but I’d love to see a pattern for a 1920’s Flapper dress, as the time period to my knowledge has never been done for dolls and it intrigues me.

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is… the 1940s and Civil War Era. Would love to see more boy doll clothes for every era, tho!
I have no favorite era. I just love almost every pattern I come across because dressing a doll is more fun than dressing myself. Her body never changes and no matter the style she always looks good!

I love the current era when women have become more integral to every profession! I would love to have more pattern choices for profession-specific wardrobes. Professional pattern designers would probably do a lot better job than I can at modifying existing patterns to reflect profession-specific wardrobe pieces!
I love the 50’s era for myself. But for my granddaughters, I love the current styles.
I like the 60’s and 70’s, but like sewing for all eras. Love this doll and the outfits!

My favorite era for doll clothes is the 1800’s, because heirloom sewing is my thing. But I also love the 50’s era for its innocence.

I like the clothing from both the 60’s and the Civil War and pre-Civil War periods. I grew up in the 60’s and my mother sewed most of my clothing so I enjoy duplicating them for Julie. But I grew up in the delta of Mississippi and the antebellum and Natchez Pilgrimage events with the Civil War dresses are also dear to my heart
Love to see dresses from the 1930s and 1940s!
I love the 70’s. I love any and all dresses
My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the 40s, and late 60s. 40s menswear influence (think Katherine Hepburn) but also love the 60s hippy groove (mini skirts, peace signs, flowers in your hair). I’d love to see a pattern for a 1960s Mary Quant style dress.
I never thought of 40’s as retro, only because that means, I’m retro, lol. But I’d love to try them.
She is a very beautiful doll and I love this era of clothing. Funny but the styles of this era reflect some of the styles worn today. Fashion does make a full circle.

I love the early 1900s – empire bodice and then into the 20’s with the “hang loose” dresses.
I love historical outfits! My favorites are Colonial, Victorian and the 50’s. Please enter me in this wonderful contest!
My favorite era is the 40’s, with the tailored and curvy emphasis. But, like most of the respondents, I enjoy sewing clothing of every era.
My favoriteam Era would be when girls wore puffy dresses with a parasol, the 1900’s and i think it would be fun to also introduce flapper dresses from the 1920’s.
I am drawn to the 1930’s little girl fashions. They are so sweet and innocent looking. It was a time when little girls still looked like little girls. The clothes have so much detail, with tucks, bias trims, pleats and ruffles making them fun to sew. My doll is Kit.
In my collection of dolls I have about every size and era. My favorite would be the 40’s and 50’s. Although when I sew it is mostly modern day for the American Girl dolls.
My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the current period. I’d love to see a pattern for a girl’s hockey jersey & pants.
I would like to see more patterns from the 50’s. That is the era I grew up in.
My daughter is 8 and her doll lives in a princess fantasy world most of the time. The next doll will be for me and I’m excited to experiment with different periods. I’d love to see more ball gowns for my princess.
I don’t have a favorite era, I have several. The renaissance era, colonial era, roaring 20’s and the Victorian era. Love them all.

My favorite era of clothing and fashion has to be the modern day/current era, although Steampunk inspired clothing is a close second for me. I’d love to see a pattern for more modern/vintage combo dresses.
