random thought, but is there a human pattern like it? i've bought on-sale human patterns and blown up the spec-sheet to get doll-sized cutouts before.

Ah, Well I do have Babrie patterns I could blow up the Ken doll patterns, anyway. [I doubt my doll would be happy in Drag, but he does have an odd personality.] I didn't find a human equivalent but That wounds like a god idea. I also want to drastically size down a pair of my old pants that don't fit me to fit my doll.

The Volks patterns in general are extremely complex, and have required a lot of work to get them properly drafted and fitted. That pattern in particular is quite elaborate. You are very unlikely to find a free equivalent.

How about a better picture of the outfit? Then you can try and figure out what parts go in to it.

Yeah, I saw their free example page and was like uhm, I'm not that good yet. I'm better off re-sizing my old clothes that don't fit me. I have a pair of pants that would make a lovely suit for him.

I did find a similar outfit in the human costume section of the McCall's/Simplicity patterns. Not as elaborate but it's doable.
