Let's talk about stuff we don't really see, not so much kimonos and gothic lolita fluffy Animae, but historically accurate or day to day stuff, like boy clothes, dolls want. TL;DR for my reasons.

That is why I started on the Little Women clothing for my Shriara. It was the only way I was going to get the trunk set I wanted.

I just want to see clothes that you could see on real men or women! Denim that isn't shot through with glitter, shirts that are clever or cute or plain and basic that can be used for a variety of styles. Nice-looking skirts, suits, jackets, jeans, tops. Not screaming bright pink and sparkle on **Everything**. The Fashionisto boys have nice everyday clothing, but most of the girly wear is totally useless.
A few sellers are beginning to show casual or business clothing for female action figures, but there's still more PVC and fetish wear than anything.
It's pretty sad, though, when finding good clothes for *fashion dolls* is such a chore.

(and before you ask, my sewing skills are, well, non-existent. I can re-attach buttons, tack a hem back together, simple things like that. Real sewing projects look like I tried to do the work wearing mittens and sunglasses.)

Plain, knee langth solid colored dresses. Seriously.

It's not so much what you'd like me to make, I don't really do sewing commissions any more, but stuff I could put in my pattern books for people to sew up themselves. It looks like there is a need for a book of casual book guy clothes.

I'm a bit tossed between finished books, like the Just For Us that are for one particular brand of doll, and books for altering patterns made from the drafting book. Part of me wants to update/expand that too, and part wants to do like they do with the Mrs Stylebook in which each issue has basic drafting and altering in to different outfits. I'm trying to see through different eyes and find a useful balance. My brain thinks too much some times

Guy clothes would be great! And odd sizes. Like Resinsoul Lu/Mei size or Lati Blue boy size, where store bought stuff is just soooo hard to find and fit right!

I'd like to find more classy or mature clothing for MSDs. All of my dolls are in there late 20s, they don't like dressing like dressing like 15 year-olds.

I figured out a long while back there was no way to keep up with different sizes, I can't draft for what I don't have. Hearing your ideas of what styles are lacking helps. I can agree with a lack for grown women dolls.

Now, mind you, I'm all about kimono, EGL and fetishwear...but Chae-ri has plenty of plain, old-fashioned jeans and T-shirts and sweaters and such. Made by her loving mama, of course.

A really good variety of everyday male doll wear, like in MFD 18. Not just one kind each of t-shirt, jeans, dress shirt, slacks and tux, but trendy everyday wear. Just on pants/ jeans alone there could be so much variety - skinny leg jeans, bell bottoms, relaxed fit, boot cut, painters, dockers, cargo...
