Clothes that fit a MNF male!! LOL! Noble is so hard to find clothing for - that doesn't look like it was made for a 10 year old boy who lived during the Victorian era. And I'm so done with punk . . .

I like fantasy clothing - medieval with a touch of Asian inspiration, short, long, pants, skirts, unisex. I also like masculine clothing that has a touch of frills and lace without looking like it's a girl's outfit on a boy.

Hard to fit dolls is why I did my drafting book, there's no fitting a Volks Eb-N off the wrack either. I thought it would be easier to tell other people how to do it instead of dealing with "make my doll this" especially because I only have half a dozen resin bodies.

I'm starting to get an idea of an expanded drafting book, or a few pending on how big this idea gets, that will fit any doll. But you'd still have to make your own patterns and do your own sewing unless you had someone to do it for you.

I currently love 1/6, though clothes for the Strawberry Shortcake crowd would be nice (but I may have found a place with patterns, and I can cobble stuff together out of ribbons and such).

I'd like patterns that fit the Power Team Guys - the Ken ones I have are OK, but rather tight in the torso. And I totally third, fourth or fifth the need for casual, normal clothes. Again, I do have some Ken patterns, so I can experiment.

I'd like clothes for female dolls in the 1/6 range that are normal clothes. Jeans and t-shirts that adults would wear. Work appropriate clothes. Dresses in non-pastel colors with no glitter.

Hmm, looks like a girl version of Dress Up Book #1 might be in order, if I can get away with sketches and technical drawings of the clothes I can put books out a bit faster. Maybe I need to change my descriptions, DUB #1 covers most guy dolls. There's full size shirts, pants, waistcoats, jackets, and frock coats (Doctor Who costumes) in sizes from Obitsu 23 (just take u the pants for a 21) to Sideshow/Hot Toys.

So, thinking about the girls the only kind I don't have is a Cy Girl type :/ Does she compare to the Sideshow? There in lies the problem of not having access to a certain doll to make measurements from.

Me too! Dimitri has clothes but they really aren't his style. He's kind of scene, but mostly nerdy ;)

I got an outfit off Ebay from mybayer that sort of fits Noble. He has the muscular body so the chest is skin tight and the pant waist is a little large but fit his, erm, ample behind well.

Is it possible to come up with a pair of pants that fit without either making it impossible for the doll to sit or causes plumber pants syndrome? :evil:

I've had some luck finding every day wear for my 1/6 girls but stuff from Azone, in particular, is kinda expensive. :shock: At any rate, I'm glad that Azone has done a few production runs of their Basic line in recent years.

Of course, you've all heard me whine and complain about how I'd like to see more military-style uniforms and similar "action-adventure" stuff. I'd really love to have Obitsu 27 cm female sized uniforms to match the ones I use on my Joes but I have a feeling that there's no real market for such things outside of me and maybe a few other odd birds.

I have one: Brocade (Kimono style) Shirts that won't start having fuzz syndrome. (I have a dress like that for my AG dolls and it's frayed over the time I've had it. And I've had it a LOONG time.)
