My favorite fashion era is the 30s and 40s. I would like to see patterns that could use the wonderful vintage prints from the 30s and 40s, and aprons from that time.

My favorite fashion era was the forties and eighties because shirtwaist dresses and long suit jackets were in style. And i loved the shoulder pads because they made your shoulders broader which made your waist look small. Wasn’t into the big hair of the 80’s though.

Donna

January 02, 2019

I love the historical outfits. When I was a child my Barbies had to have ‘old fashioned’ clothes – which of course my mother had to make since the clothes for them were only modern.

Sue Normann

January 02, 2019

Asking for my favorite fashion era is like asking which is my favorite child…I love them all.
But, I have the softest spot for Edwardian and the 20’s Jazz era.

I’d like to see patterns that pay homage to designers from 1900 thru the 1920s….Fortuny ‘s tea gowns, Paul Poiret turbans and les robes, the theater of Erte (wow!), Jeanne Lavine’s Charleston dresses, Jean Patou’s early cubist sweaters, Edward Molyneux beaded dresses (but I’d want to follow his patterns into the 30s and 40s.) These designers did things that were awe inspiring. The fashion well runs so deep. It’s great to keep their heritage alive.

Becky

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the 1960’s possibly because I was young and fashion savy back then; my seconf favorite time ranges from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, however the more I know of the actual living of that time I know I’d never survive dressed in those clothes!

Anna

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the Victorian era, because of the changing silhouettes. I would love to see a historical pattern for Rational Dress, the mid-nineteenth century movement to make women’s clothes more comfortable and practical.

Miranda

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the 1930’s- the 1950’s (I can’t pick just one!). I would love to see more historical patterns for the Wellie Wishers in any time period.

Frances Rautenbach

January 02, 2019

My favourite fashion era is the late Victorian – early Edwardian era. You asked for specifics: I would like to see a bundle of historical patterns offered for a dress for a schoolgirl and an outfit for a schoolboy for1896, as well as an everyday dress for a young female schoolteacher. Instead of 1896, this could be for at any time between 1896 – 1910. The reason why is my dolls live on the site of a one-room schoolhouse erected in 1896, and they would like to put on a fashion show about the excitement the neighbourhood experienced on finally getting their school – so ordinary farming clothes for adults would also be a welcome addition to this fashion bundle! (The school continued to operate until 1940, when it was closed due to “consolidation”, which required all the children to travel to school in town instead of walking to school in their rural neighbourhood – this diminished the life of the whole local community…

Tara

Gaile

January 02, 2019

My favorite historical era of course is the Civil War because I love Gone With The Wind and the sequel Scarlett. They were beautiful dresses, but I sew child friendly dress So I’d like more of the 90s and 2000 era clothes. I think the children like them better.

My favorite era would be the Colonial period and the styles worn by the pioneers as they settled the prairies.

Judy

January 02, 2019

My favourite fashion era is from the 1950s. Probably because that’s when I was a little girl, and my mom, being a seamstress, sewed all my little dresses. We didn’t wear jeans and pants. One dress was always saved for Sunday church.

Loretta

January 02, 2019

My favourite fashion era is the early 1900’s to the 1910’s. You will not find a more beautiful time frame than that! I would like to see BOYS DOLL CLOTHES for the 18" doll for this era. I can’t seem to find any at all. I would especially love to see the period from 1900-1905. I would like to use an AG doll to recreated my paternal grandpa’s story as a boy in North Wales. This would make me so happy as I can’t design boy’s doll clothes.

Cath

January 02, 2019

Because of my love for all things Jane Austen, my favorite fashion era is the Regency period. There are knitting magazines devoted to Jane Austen knitting that sell out as soon as they are distributed. I would like to see any historical pattern offerings, knit or sewn, for Austen attire for dolls.
99% of my sewing is modern, for young girls’ dolls. This Regency sewing would be for me. This year I want to make a point of doing some doll sewing for me. I never do that and it’s about time.

Valerie

Judith Pece

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the 1940’s. You don’t see as much about that time period as some of the others. The clothes were so classy! I’d love to see pleated pants and jacket patterns for women from that era. I think the style would work best on a slender doll.

Jennifer

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the 60’s… I think. They’re all fun.

Shelby

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is both the 1950’s and the 1990’s – I love the frills of the 50’s, but the edginess of the 90’s. I would like to see a historical pattern offered for some 1920’s era party dresses and suits, as we’re soon going to be in the “roaring 20’s” again, and my dolls need to be partying like Gatsby!

Janis

January 02, 2019

My favorite era is the beautiful gowns of the early 1800’s and that of each presidential first lady. I love French fashion. I love dressing Robert Tonner fashion doll and 18" dolls. I would like to see 16 and 21 inches fashion dolls patterns.

Jan Taylor

January 02, 2019

Linda Ladd

Darlene

January 02, 2019

“My favorite fashion era is 1950’s. I would like to see a historical pattern offered for a Wellie Wisher Doll. It would be fun to make an outfit for my granddaughter’s doll similar to what I may have worn as a child. It’s hard to think of me as historical though! LOL

Kate

January 02, 2019

Heh heh. Turns out I left out a very important word! That would be wedding. My mom made my wedding dress like my Barbie dress. Lol

Laura

January 02, 2019

I don’t have a favorite fashion period, they all have their attractions and merits, but I would like to see a mid-19th century pattern offered for 18" AG African-American dolls.

Vanessa

January 02, 2019

My favourite fashion era is the 1950’s. I love those huge skirts that twirl when you spin.

Margaret

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion Era is a toss up. While the luscious Victorian gowns are truly awe inspiring I would love to see more historical patterns from the 1920’s to the 30’s. That Era was so fun and fashionable, it makes me want to be there!

Lori Poffenroth

January 02, 2019

Kate

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is. . . Holy cow! Where to start?! I personally love to wear fashions from.the 1940s. I think it would be fun to have my doll in a sharp suit like the ones my granny wore. . . But. . . I also like Renaissance styles for “dress up”. My mom made a Barbie dress based on a dress in her historical costumes book. I LOVED that dress so much that when the time came, I had her make my dress like the Barbie dress. (And Barbie sat at my cake table!).

Delia Rotolo

January 02, 2019

“My favorite fashion era is the 1960s. I would like to see a historical pattern offered for a boho, hippy, lovechild.

Jan

January 02, 2019

Victorian era is my favorite but anything pre 1930 is wonderful. I would love a “Sherlock Holmes” (1880’s to 1890’s) outfit for my boy AG doll. I am trying to make historic caroling outfits and I have had to fake the boy outfit from existing patterns. I am not good at pattern design and really don’t want to do it anyway when all of you are so professional. I want the deerstalker hat and the overcoat but also a suit, shirt and tie faithful to the period.

Rita C.

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the 70s. Recently many designers on Pixie Faire have chosen to bring back fashions from this time.

Leann

January 02, 2019

I don’t have a favorite era, as far as fashion goes, but something from the American & French Revolutionary periods would be neat! Also, WW1 & WW2 fashions from around the world would be interesting.

Cher

January 02, 2019

Lorine

January 02, 2019

My favorite fashion era is the early to mid-1900s (1900-1955); before the “trendy” modern stuff. The clothes were more modest (longer skirt lengths & such). I love Shari’s patterns as well as your new designers Keepers Dolly Duds.

Audrey Stewart

January 02, 2019

January 02, 2019

My favourite fashion era is, well I love them all! But if I have to choose, Edwardian and 1940’s (ww2). I would love to see any patterns offered for those times, but I think it would be really cool to have ww2 patterns, for maybe a utility dress. Or a tap outfit. And I love anything Edwardian.
