So love the 1920’s- Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald- the Charleston; the 1930’s & 40’s with great books like Gone With the Wind and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn; the Jitter-bug of the 40’s. Love the patterns of those era’s you offer such a nice variety. Wish you could bring Molly back! Thanks

Deborah Kane

My favorite era of clothing would involve wedding dress patterns for Felicity during the Colonial Period . Kit’s time period during the 1930’s would be a close second. While there are many party dress patterns for dolls I rarely see any wedding dress patterns. I think this is an area that is overlooked even though I realize it would be a more involved pattern. I think everyone likes to think of this special day in their doll’s time period.

My favorite era of clothing is Victorian English during the 18th century. I loved the fabrics used then-the laces, silks and velvets and the unusual ways the dresses were crafted. The transfer to doll clothes could be very interesting especially with the scale of trimmings .

My personal favorite has to be the turn of the century styles that are made by Thimbles and acorns, Crabapples, and Eden Ava.

That’s how I found Liberty Jane in the first place. I would like to see a nice sailor dress pattern because it comes back through so many different erras.

Debbie

December 28, 2017

My favorite fashion era spans the 1920’s, 30’s 40’s, world-wide. I’d love to make matching flapper outfits for one of my dancing granddaughters and her doll. Those newsboy hats are so spunky, for both boys and girls. I’ve made several. I would like to see more patterns that replicate actual child clothing, rather than adult styles. Society is pushing kids to grow up too fast, and this is reflected in the styles of dolls clothes. Let’s have more kid clothes. My granddaughters want more “play clothes, not so many dresses.” Thank you for your generosity in having this give-away.

Started with dolls for our now 29 year old and now for grands and nieces! Just started a 6 year old with a new Madame Alexander play doll (due to facial expression) and her 3 year old sister with a Bitty Baby I found discarded in perfect condition at our local Goodwill. She had no clothes so I will be busy! Love your patterns and the quality.

Karen Hawkins

My favorite era in fashion is the 1700’s and I’d love to find a pattern for the Scot kilt (too much outlander☺). Not just the skirt portion but how the whole piece was draped and worn. I haven’t found anything for the 18" boys that would work.

Lisa C.

December 28, 2017

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is… the 1900’s through the 1950’s for the HATS. Nothing says elegance and civility like a hat, for both genders. I’d love to see one pattern that includes a flower-covered flapper hat, a pillbox hat, and a fedora.

peggy

December 28, 2017

My favorite era is the 80’s. I loved the long jackets; shirtwaist dresses, a repeat from the 50’s; padded shoulders (always made me look so thin); and big hair! Course the 70’s were great too.

Sly

December 28, 2017

My favorite era of clothing and fashion is Victorian. Specifically, steampunk stuff. I’d love to see a pattern for clothing from the Roaring ’20’s though, because there’s just not enough. Not the weird, Halloween-esque flapper so many people picture, either. But an actual, accurate depiction of what was worn during the 1920’s. Fashion during that time was shifting and changing by leaps and bounds, and there were so many amazing styles. It would be so cool to see some of that reflected in doll clothing.
