QOTW: Do certain dolls get special outfits?
Written on May 23, 2016 at 12:00 pm by MichelleFiled under: Question of the Week
I admit to playing favourites, and that spills into who gets what clothes too! Sad for some of my dolls, but a wonderful bonus for the others as it means that they get special clothes all to themselves. For instance, I (generally) buy pink things for Eden Mouse because pink is her thing. This holds true for dresses, shirts, pants, shoes, skirts (although I don’t have many), and tights. Cameo gets all the kitty things, although this was really started unintentionally and has resulted in a small but kitty-covered collection of doll clothes. And then there’s Lottie. I have no clue what her ‘theme’ is, if she has a theme, but she happily got special dresses all to herself when she arrived.
Do certain dolls in your Blythe family get special just-for-them outfits?
I tend to buy or make outfits that fit my doll’s personalities. One of my dolls likes sweet and girly dresses. Another is a bit of a hippy at heart and also wears more funky clothes. My Cherry Beach likes beachwear, sundresses, and is a bit glamorous. I’m pleased to know I’m not the only one who’s dolls have their own personalities.
I tend to make or buy things that fit my current mood – not so much with a particular doll in mind. But I will say that once I’ve finished making a thing, I definitely look at my dolls with an eye to who it suits most.
Almost all my girls have some kind of theme. Only ones that don’t is my Middie (she has a much smaller wardrobe than her sisters. So, she wears whatever I can get ahold of), and my BL. My BL just wears whatever that looks good on her.
