..We have talked about choosing the fabrics and trims for your designs, and how to prepare the materials to help you produce a great piece of wearable art for your doll, but all that will be wasted unless you choose the right doll for your garment. If you are dressing a doll in historical costume, you need to remember that skin tone as well as hair style is very important. Dolls dressed in Renaissance and other European Court dress as well as Civil War fashion need a skin tone that is as pale as possible.
Lord Perry Patterns was developed so that designers could create wonderful OOAK dolls by picking up fashion dolls anywhere, even garage sales. Many of the designs we have developed (over 75 patterns) have head gear, etc. that work very well on dolls that have not been gently used. Many time just a dab of paint to change lip or eye color will give new life to a tired fashion doll.
