Doll Clothing: Challenge 4- RIBBON CHALLENGE!!

[hannaliten]

Oh I'm in! I have plenty of naked dollies

[Salli]

Wow, the store that usually has a ton of elastic lace had nothing I liked so I got some non-stretchy kind for underthings for all my dollies!! Muahahahaha!!!

[Salli]

CHALLENGE 1: Underthings

Make that doll (or dolls) some underthings. These can be:
bras, panties/knickers, chemises, tank tops, boxers/briefs, slips, petticoats, pantaloons/bloomers, garter belts, garters, stockings or socks.

Here is a simple visual of sewing some simple lingerie for a doll.

Here's a good tutorial for making socks/stockings for any size doll:

This is a slip pattern for an 18" doll but I feel that its really applicable to any size doll:

I am not finding any good tutorials for doll petticoats. I will keep hunting.... You can also add a ruffled edge to a skirt you don't like and turn it into a petticoat.

Here's something I've not seen before, some boy doll briefs pattern/tutorial:

Wow! those look like pretty easy to understand patterns. Thanks, Salli.
I can't wait to try out those.

Here's a MH thights pattern I found or maybe it was on the first thread...

wow Salli, that linkgerie link was very cute, thank you for sharing!
I think I'll go for lingerie and thighs. I know I want to do thighs for my own girls as well as for someone else, so maybe those will be the priority.

how long will a challenge last now? or particularly this one?

[aluke]

I'd love to join in and relearn how to sew. Socks should hopefully be an easy enough start for me. 

[Salli]

Thanks for the link, Ackryllis! Everyone please feel free to post any links you find

Loona, I figured we'd do a challenge every month. (Especially since I have more than one dollie to dress )

[Loona]

yay I am actually happy about the longer working time per a challenge, partly because September is going to be hard for me, partly because I'd also love to complete more pieces, for more dollies.

[Salli]

Got EAH Cerise's done and my Tonner girl but the latter looks horrid, so I am redoing after I get the right elastic. Note: ribbon does not make a good bra strap around the torso. My big vintage doll already had hers done (and that's the only thing she's been wearing for 2 years) a while back. I finished panties for headless Jem and I am going to work some more today on it while I binge on a show.

I'm so excited about this challenge, guys!  Check it out!

This is my Dorothy doll I'm working on.  I found the doll at an indoor flea market and decided to create a line of dolls from fairy tales/literature.

I tried to create a chemise and underpants a little girl in 1939, which was the release of the movie, would be wearing. I tried to find material that resembled things that were available in that time period as well. 

[Loona]

wow, Dorothy looks lovely (her shoes gave her away, I immediately thought of Dorothy when I saw them ^^ )! that chemise is so cute, I love how it closes at her shoulders with buttons! good job!

[Salli]

Well done Moonflower!!

[Salli]

So surgery took over my life. It went well, but I am still having to spend a lot of down time. Luckily I think I can do the stockings for the dollies tomorrow and can hopefully get pix then. I have been hand sewing other clothes while I have been down though so yay!

Anyone else making any progress?

Oh and here's a printable robe and stocking pattern for MH and probably EAH

I might as well join this! Could be nice to have a prompt to sew something for some of my dollies.

Does it count that I have sewn a bunch of bloomers' for Ldoll? Some will stay with me as my little ones need them too, but most will go to other homes - or so I hope.

[Salli]

Yep, your bloomers count! Post pix if you can
