I read and saw quite a lot of doll clothes. Although mostly is for 27cm, but sometimes, I took a look for larger size like for MSD.
I've been attempting to make a sheath dress (simple bustier dress) for my MSD. Apparently I always kept trapped in doll cloth making myth, like: using button, simple sewing (no serging or sew the seam edge) and pattern. I think it will be ok for some clothes type that doesn't really-really need good fitting. But just as like my real human clothes, i want it FIT!.
I saw a sheath dress on a webstore. I was a little bit confused and been wondering since then...why would the use zipper? just for the sake of exclusivity or 'couture' term or...I felt strange since seeing those dresses again tonight, just before i tried to finish my own sheath dress.
Then, after I tried to finish my MSD sheath dress...i was like AHA! Now, i get it!!!!! It's not just for the sake of couture or exclusivity, instead, it's a MUST! They treat the doll cloth making like human cloth making.
Perhaps, it's not really too necessary but if I want to get a great result, i must back to my sewing 'basic' theories. I mean, i'm going to apply the techniques on the doll. Actually, the sheath dress i just finished was revised in terms of pattern but unfortunately, silly me also, i didn't follow up with good technique. the pattern making i did used the simple bustier technique i used for human. Not really in detail, since i use a different basic pattern but when changing it into sheath dress, i used the simple bustier pattern technique...boooyyyyzzzzz...what a day!!!!!!
I'll be keeping attempting to make this sheath dress till i get the best result. I've been thinking to use zipper. I thought zipper used for dolls were special, but it seems the same as for human clothing. it's just, i need to find shorter ones.
Perhaps, i'm exagerrating here, but well, each person has their own technique that suits them the best. And that technique is their strength in terms of doll cloth making (^_-)
