Michele

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the 1860’s. I would love to see a historical pattern for an 1880’s teenage girl or young adventurer. I’m on the local museum board and we have a wonder trio of sisters who were way ahead of their time. One was a cave-exploring geologist, one a folklorist who visited Native Americas and learned their ways, and the other studied ornithology. They were well traveled and wrote under men’s names until their father passed, because as well educated ladies it would not be proper. We are creating 18" dolls to illustrate their lives and teach today’s girls about these young women of the golden age in our city. One of them created her own split skirt to better cave explore in! We hope to recreate some of the clothing they might have worn in their exploits.

Regina Brown

Susan

January 02, 2019

My favorite era is NOW because we can dress during the day in the casual athletic / work ware that we are all so comfortable in Jeans and T, or dress more as a power broker and no one will criticize our choice. Dior: Paris to the World is on at the Denver Art Museum. It was fun trying to translate the memories of dresses I made and wore to the origins in HI Fashion. I saw the New Years Eve suit Mom and I made in one designed for Princess Grace. On the other hand I would not want to go back to the Edwardian era clothing – I like our freer softer clothing.

Bernadette Motzko

January 02, 2019

I love the 1950’s dresses with full skirts and can cans probably because they are the style of my childhood. I love the ball gowns from all ages. There is just something special about the Cinderella, fairytale quality of long full skirts with hoops and can cans.

I love the fashion era of the 1930’s and especially 1940’s. I would love to see more school dresses and special occasion dresses for Kit and Molly! We had our school clothes, Sunday school clothes and our play clothes and shoes for each occasion. We weren’t allowed to play after school in our school dresses…we had to change our clothes and shoes. I would like to see more patterns reflecting this way of life! Also would welcome any historical era clothing patterns!

My favorite fashion era is the 1920s, although I’m also very fond of American Colonial era fashions.

Some more 19th century styles would also be welcome, although there are a few from Regency 1812 and Civil War 1860s eras. I do love the Susan B. Anthony dress from Flossie Potter as well from 1890s.

Lark Harrington

patricia post

January 02, 2019

Sooo hard to pick just one era. I love all things civil war-ruffles and bows and lace-the fancier the better. but I was a girl in the 1950’s and also love circle skirts and can-cans to go under them, sweater sets and shorty pajamas. Actually I love all the eras up to the 1950’s.

Judy Holland

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is… the depression era when the focus was on helping our country win a war. Fashion was not an issue to most people during that day. I would like to see a historical pattern offered for a ….the working class people of that time.

Dorothy

January 02, 2019

My favorite era to look at is the Renaissance, but my girls prefer dresses from the fifties. More patterns for those pretty “girlie” styles and accessories would be great. Remember furry muffs?

Tamara

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is either the Regency era or Edwardian. However, my daughter’s (who I sew for) is Colonial. I would most love to see patterns for riding habits during these periods, also more older historical period patterns for boy dolls.

Jane

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the 1950s when girls and women “dressed up” every time they left the house. Would love to see clothes from that time.

Sheryl Emery

Would love to see more Regency era clothing patterns. I dress up in Regency clothing every summer for our Jane Austen festival, 3 days of genteel fun and frolic. I want to make a complete set of !8" doll clothes and offer this as a prize (lots of little girls come). Underclothes, day dresses, shoes and perhaps boy doll clothing, too.

Karen Decker

January 02, 2019

Linda

January 02, 2019

I’ve been waiting for this day! I sew for many different size dolls and have recently wanted them to all have historical clothing. Currently I’m most interested in the mid 1800s. I’m a fan of Tasha Tudor and want to dress my dolls similar to hers and even create a dollhouse like she had. I’m starting to use Girl For All Times patterns for my Sylvia Natterer Starlette dolls, with some alterations. The dolls need skirts and fancy blouses, aprons, cloaks, shoes, hats, fancy dresses, every day dresses… A full wardrobe! I love to sew and knit for dolls!

Mary

January 02, 2019

My favorite era is the one where they have those fabulous hats like on “My Fair Lady”. I would like to learn how to make those intricate hats for Gotz dolls.

Melissa

January 02, 2019

My favourite is the 40s- the peplum suit jackets and the dresses with the detailing around the waist and skirts flowing out in a nice A-line. If there were a costume option, I think anything from The Sound of Music would be great (yes, I know it’s supposed to be set in the late 30s, but close enough!).

Doris

January 02, 2019

The 50’s. Non-fussy, not restrictive, easy to feel like a girl. But oh how my mother hated those crinolines.

My favorite fashion era is the 1930’s which was when my late mother was in high school & beginning her college years!
When I got my 1st AG doll (Caroline Abbott-who by chance shares the same name as my paternal gg g’mother) I was hooked! I limit myself to the historical (now Be Forever Collection dolls and redesigned dolls.
I am a history/genealogy buff (with storybook characters) hence the deep interest in these characters.
Presently I have these “daughters”:
Felicity, Elizabeth, Caroline, Kirsten, Josefina (just rec’d her as a Xmas gift!), Marie-Grace, Samantha, Nellie, Rebecca, Kit, Molly, Emily, Maryellen, then two girls especially designed as Anne and Diana of Green Cables fame, which totals 15 dolls.

Love the historic clothes patterns! Any new ones would be fun. Not historic yet really but maybe some 1970’s and 80’s fashions that are out of style?

Lizzi

January 02, 2019

My favorite dash era for my dolls is the 18th century to early 19th century peasant dresses, working class garments. It’s our history in miniature.

Grace

January 02, 2019

Edwardian is my favorite period. Just right amount of lace. The neat pleated dresses, the gators that go over the shoes. The big bows on the hair. Just love it. Would love to see many more patterns in this era.
