Sewing for the 16" Fashion Doll

I thought it might be fun to have a topic where those of us who play mostly with the 16" size doll could talk about outfits/patterns we like. 

I made an outfit for Chinese New Year (tomorrow in the US -- already there in China!).  It is being modeled by  Asia who is an Urban Vita Expressions doll wearing one of her face plates that was painted by Stacy Leigh.  The pattern is made by Tamara Casey for her "Designs By Jude" line of patterns.  It is very much like an outfit that was originally produced by Madam Alexander for the Alex doll ( I don't remember the name right now ... something about Paris!).   I love this fabric because the scale is so perfect for the 16" size!  I really need to make more outfits as I bought it in ever color!

Thank you, Deborah.  I love Asian fabrics and design and I found this wonderful fabric in several colors.  Can't find it anymore!  So I guess being a fabric pack-rat can be a good thing sometimes.

Nilsa, I never seem to have "exactly" what I "need" for my dolls!  But I am not really fond of sewing and I have to force myself to make new clothes.

We had a non-contest on the Yahoo board for Urban Vita  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/urbanvita/  

We have a nice sundress pattern in the file folder and the challenge was to make 'something different' with the pattern.  

Here's what I did ... went a bit Bollywood!

I love the 16" line as  well. Tamara's patterns are great and so easy to work with. I just got over a Model Muse craze and am now again back to Tyler. I do love Emme and have just finished a pattern from Designs by Jude. I look forward to seeing more of your dolls and share mine.
