    I would love to see some of the smocked dresses like the little Princess is wearing in England. I love the dresses from the early 1900’s and also the French handsewn dresses that look so delicate, but can be learned with only a few techniques. The art of smocking and embroidery need to be taught and encouraged, so they are not forgotten.

    My favourite era is the depression years when sewers has to be creative to keep the family clothed and those adorable feedback prints that were released to help domestic sewers. The fashions were wonderfully designed with flair to accomodate smaller yardage cuts. The fashion and accessories of the late 20s to late 30s are my most favourites.

    My grandson now has a boy doll so that he can play with his sister. I bought a Samantha doll and had my hairdresser give her a boy’s haircut so that he can now play with “Sam” when his sister plays with one of her dolls.
    As a second request, I’d like to see boys’ clothes in the current era. Shirts, jackets, jeans, sports uniforms, etc.

    My favorite era of clothing is from the 60’s(my high school and college days). I love anything “boho”. Of course that’s not what we called it then. I loved to see my own clothes and I thought I was quite stylish. I also remember a classic A-line will dress and matching coat. It was orange!, from I Magnins. I would love to have that pattern, an A-line dress and matching coat.

    My favorite era of clothing and fashion is the Edwardian era. I’d love to see a pattern for a garden party dress with all the underpinnings – the high-collared lacy dress, often in white, with the layers of lacy petticoats. I’ve seen dresses that focus on satin, but not much of a focus on lace.

    My favourite clothing era is the Victorian Era. The first American Girl doll I purchased was Samantha for my granddaughter Samantha. I then proceeded to make a whole wardrobe of drop waist dresses, coats and nightwear etc. She has outgrown her dolls now she’s a teenager but Samantha has kept and looked after the wardrobe I made her doll and her doll may well be kept for her own little girl someday.

    I like outfit two, the jumper skirt. It is adorable and reminds me of a skirt I had back in 1945. My mother made it out of a remant that she found during WWII.

    I would make several for MY TWINN dolls.

    I still like to sew.

    I usually make doll clothes for my granddaughter’s 18 inch dolls. She has Samantha, her Mother’s originally, and Julie, so the clothes vary from current to 60’s, and 1880’s. My daughter-in-law is Philippine-American and she and my son live in Hawaii, so I’d love to have Nanea and add the 40’s and also Hawaiian dresses to my repertoire! Pixie Faire designers are the best!
