Doll Clothes Patterns - Five Top Fashion Trends


Are you sewing doll clothes patterns 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 think how we can translate those beloved styles into doll clothes patterns.

1.) Baby doll tops

Baby Girls\' Hoodies

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


2.) 'Cigarette' jeans

These very tight-legged pants are regularly worn with long tunic-like tops. They're great seeing 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 doll clothes patterns with either very skinny legs or very wide 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 doll clothes patterns you can use to originate this look. Experiment. It's just a new way of combining old 'basic' pieces.

4.) The 'hoodie' is taking on a new form

The best new sweater is a textured knit, knee-length wrapped invent 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 two strong trends together: the hoodie and layering.

5.) Opposites attract: Mixing hard and soft

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

So, get started! You have fullness of facts about the new apparel trends to help you opt doll clothes patterns and originate a closet full of great clothes for your dolls. Now, get inspired and issue your inner fashion designer.
